Balenciaga got quite the critical rubdown after the Spring 2012 collection walked Thursday morning. Apparently Nicolas Ghesquiere was pretty upset and embarrassed about those breaking benches, but the critics didn’t seem to mind once the show started (WWD quotes “one astute journalist” who called it “real fashion,” italics mine). The collection was industrial futurism, cerebral and volumetric, conceptual and weird as fuck. It will also be an editorial juggernaut come next Spring.
For the time being, however, can we please talk about the hats? They showed up toward the end of the show and then came marching out one after the other… like moody, monastic beach visors, equal parts Lawrence of Arabia and Darth Vader (as WWD noted with their LOLworthy headline, “Darth Victory”).
