Fashion house, Balenciaga, recently unveiled its Spring 2023 collection and as expected, social media has been buzzing with reactions.
Exhibited on the trading floor of New York Stock Exchange, the show witnessed the usual baggy hoodies and floor-scraping jeans with each model cocooned in a layer of fetish-y latex full face mask in different colours.
This was a mixture of Balenciaga's new "Eveningwear" and "Garde-Robe" collections, which update staple shirts, trench coats, and double-breasted overcoats in lusty silk and fuzzy wool.
Mzansi people went all in on a picture of a family wearing matching outfits that were dubbed "SA Gucci”
See a clip below from the show:
