At that time, Mr. Cristobal Balenciaga's clothes were famous for their sense of structure, and he liked the clothes to be as close to the body as possible, like a sculpture on the body.

Mr. Cristobal Balenciaga's understanding of structure is still very much ahead of its time. Many fashion scholars have even X-rayed some of his old clothes to understand his extraordinary control over structure.

In 1947, he created a silhouette called Barrel Line, which sought to be loose and bulky, resembling a cocoon shape, and set the trend for women's wear at the time.

Now some of Demna Gvasalia's seemingly over-the-top designs are in fact tributes to Cristobal Balenciaga.

For example, some hourglass suits, as well as the big shoulder-padded jackets that can be seen on the show every year, and so on.

For the Autumn/Winter 2017 collection, several stunning gowns were recreated from Mr. Balenciaga's classic designs, and to achieve these unique shapes, Demna did extensive historical research.

So you can understand why Balenciaga launched such a heavy daddy shoes Triple-S, in fact, is also a sense of volume.

In Demna's words, Triple S is definitely an experiment in shoe proportions, and not just about "ugly or not ugly", to stir the conversation.

It has always been Balenciaga's vision to bring the silhouette of haute couture into contemporary clothing.

Many of the pieces this season also show Demna's homage to Balenciaga's look:

I don't know if you have noticed that this season there are many big hooded designs, and carefully look at the lower end of the hat is actually two sleeves.

It reminded me of Mr. Balenciaga's dress and hat in 1967, but the shape was transformed into a hoodie that was casually draped over the head, which was very interesting.

The design is also related to Demna's Catholic background, and the design is similar to the sacred garment worn during religious ceremonies.

Another fishnet dress, made of metal chains, was inspired by a basketball net.

It pays homage to the fishnet skirt designed by Balenciaga and presents innovations in fabric and construction.

There are also some of Demna's classic shoulder-padded jackets, but this time the shoulder line has been specially made to arc, so it is more like the natural arc of the clothing worn on the body.

A little less aggressive, a little more everyday and practical.

There is also no shortage of architectural aesthetics brought about by the concept of shoes, the model wears shoes head is made into a pyramid general triangle, very modeling.

On the runway, you will always see some relatively exaggerated silhouettes, these pieces are infused with Demna's design aesthetic, but it is not an exaggeration to say that they are more practical.

But Demna's own response is also reasonable: "I wanted to show the real Paris and Parisians of today, and the prints and contours of clothes should symbolize everyday life - grocery shopping, commuting on a motorbike, catching up with friends after work...... It shouldn't just be the gorgeous fashion capitals in old photos."

What he did was to take some of our everyday clothes and make them feel like sculptures.

For example, Balenciaga's more classic denim clothes in recent years, after wearing it, you will find that this version is extremely chic.

There are also shoulder pads and cocoon-shaped designs in shirts and T-shirts, which also have the effect of modifying the body.

The shoulder-padded suits that have been particularly popular in recent years are also brought by Balenciaga.

Including the loose Oversize T-shirt became the mainstream, Demna is also the absolute driving force behind this fashion, but also the embodiment of Balenciaga spirit.
