Though Balenciaga’s Spring-Summer 2023 ready-to-wear collection, Demna Gvasalia expresses the freedom of fashion. Considering it a battlefield to defend the brand’s unique identity, the creative director steers away from trends and redefines individuality in the best possible ways. While society, internet and the world in general stay on the safe side by being labeled and placed in a box, he takes the opposite way and presents a collection that reflects his free-spirited state of mind.
Considering fashion as a visual art, this collection is neither explained, nor verbalized. It’s his way to dig for the truth and be down to earth.
