Glamor & Goth in the California Sun!

Balenciaga Ready to Wear Fall 2024. Saturday December 2, 2023. Hancock Park. Hollywood -Los Angeles, CA.

DEMNA DOES IT AGAIN

On a Sunny Saturday afternoon in Hollywood, Creative Director: Demna Gvasalia unleashed his newest Balenciaga Ready to Wear collection. The Heat of the day was quenched with dark black Charcoal infused drinks. With a plethora of Dark, Goth on trend clothing along with some quite nice pops of bright colors including Bright Yellow, Barbie Pink and Green Grass Green. Many models carried the super famous EREWHON brown grocery bags made of leather. Yep, this is the place that has the ultra pricey smoothies where celebs flock for their curated vegan meals and supplements.

The Show did take from the 1980’s bright color mix of classic aerobic suiting along with some Dope Ath-Leisure/Health-Goth Garments. The designs on the runway and those worn by the many celebrities in attendance battled it out to see who wore it best. It’s so interesting to see how high level celebs get some of the luxury pieces prior to the show. Oh, but good news on this show, you can get your own quick fix fit on their Exclusive release website. Select & Limited items include: “No Logo” Jersey items, new 10XL Sneakers, Le Cagole Tote XL Bag, T-Shirts, Zip Hoodies and embroidered baseball caps

The Cat-Eye Oversized Neo-Esque Opaque sunglasses were worn by many models and celebs alike. Going to be a ton of #realfake copy cats on the streetz very soon. Will be pretty hard to make #fakereal oversized kicks. The 10XL’s luxury gym shoes have a monstrous amount of material. Would cost a pretty penny to make replicants. And OMG the Jacob & Co. x Balenciaga silver choker chain. Wow! Very nice. And did I Hear that they are making some customized chokkers in exquisite high quality Diamonds? You gotta dig a bit, yet it is on their site.

I especially liked the oversized gym look, the layered trousers and the on trend: Jackets made into Pants made into Jackets.

I gotta tell you I watched this show live in the hot sun myself, awaiting a happy meal withe the 2 free toys for my Grand-Daughter-Adalyn. I was taking screen shots as we inched our way along the lengthy line at Mickey D’s. Glad it was a long line, almost saw the entire show in the drive thru lane.

Make sure you listen to the Soundtrack by BFRND, It has vast amount of pertinent info about the world we live in today. I listened so well, I immediately took all our mobiles+ iPads away and went on an outdoor picnic with just talking, eating and knock-knock jokes galore. Was really good fun!

I do know those EREWHON brown bags made of leather will be the first to sell-out. At least he made the drinks charcoal black instead of that yucky dirt green.

When I was watching the show Live I kept seeing a girl in the cat-eye shades here and there and seemed everywhere. I also found her in the screen shots and re-touched photos below. From here on in, she is officially “The Balenciaga Ghost Girl EXCLUSIVE VIP” It’s like a “Wheres Waldo” when you start to look for her, it’s pretty trippy. I suspect there were more than one ghost girl planted in the crowd. Demna likes to hide covert meanings of the world we live in, directly in plain site for all with a Keen eye to find and ponder.

THE OFFICIAL BALENCIAGA GHOST GIRL EXCLUSIVE VIP

I’m not the biggest fan of bright, sun blasting runway shows in general, but this one had enough peripheral visions to keep me enthralled. It was quite entertaining and there are some nice black clothes, which is always a plus for a high powered fashion house to avouch to me and many other creatures of the night. No one has ever feigned, floundered, mercilessly wearing black. Truly a Gothic Paradise in the Sun!

And the final look with all white look with a immense ode to Cristobal Balenciaga, gets an A+. And finally a pic of Demna wearing thick Balenciaga leather on top more layers of clothing…in Hollywood, CA.

*Interesting Note on the Coffee Cups: They are actually the 9AM Clutch. When you open the top there is a mirror underneath the lid!
