On December 2nd, 2023, Balenciaga presented its Fall 2024 in Los Angeles, CA – the first time the house has held a show in the city. The lineup, revealed on a palm tree-lined street and scored by BFRND with a custom track featuring multiple voiceovers, illustrates Demna’s interpretation of L.A.’s fashion codes through a cinematic, character-driven lens. The show encapsulated everything Angelenos enjoy on a daily basis alternating worlds between jogging, yoga and gym sessions, and then progressing to Hollywood evening with step-and-repeat-ready, Cristóbal Balenciaga-inspired gowns. The presentation showed a range of fashion you will see on any night partying on Sunset Blvd. with updated grunge looks referred to as Neo-Grunge. Accessories include a new croc-embossed Rodeo bag, named for the Beverly Hills street and home of Balenciaga’s now two L.A. flagships, and essential carriers such as the knitted 24/7 tote and the Monaco tote. Eyewear includes evolved mask and batwing shapes, along with the new super flexible Malibu line with elastic temples and premium titanium construction. A new shoe – the 10XL Sneaker – is introduced. It amplifies a sense of exaggeration in proportion, which is a Balenciaga signature.
Two select colourways (yellow/white/blue and blue/gray/black) will be available in an exclusive release while a number of exclusive release items in addition to the 10XL Sneaker are available immediately following the show!
