Putting the coo in couture...

When it comes to putting the coo in couture, there is nothing like the sight of a little golden chair to get you in the mood for all the delicious concoctions you are about to see.

As for those lucky people who sat down in this lovely salon above to watch the Balencaiga couture show, I wonder just how prepared they were for the glorious disconnect that would surely have occured between those surroundings and and the black clad visor wearing models who came forth.

The collection, which was Balenciaga's 51st couture collection and Gvasalia's second couture collection for the esteemed house aimed to draw on and develop the Balenciaga legacy using both advanced technology and traditional techniques. According to a release from the house, over a quarter of the collection was made with upcycled items…

Demna Gvasalia is well versed in the currency of celebrity. He spent wisely and made sure of a huge reaction on social media and the press by casting pulled supermodels Naomi Campbell and Bella Hadid, as well as surprise catwalk additions in the form of Dua Lipa, Nicole Kidman and Kim Kardashian ( who was perhaps less of a surprise)

The Bride was like Miss Haversham on steroids. The veiled wedding gown made with 250 meters of tulle. It had taken a staggering 7,500-hours to complete the embroidery process using 25 types of paillettes and beads, including 70,000 crystals, 80,000 silver leaves, and 200,000 sequins.

Goodbye lovely salon, we look forward to next year…
