This collection embodies the multitude of design codes that have been part of my creative vision and research on fashion at Balenciaga for a decade. It combines pieces from 35 different collections with new pieces and garments from my personal wardrobe, representing the volumes, silhouettes, and attitudes that have defined my vision and my questioning of the contemporary wardrobe, what people actually wear, how they wear it, and what the fine line is between luxury and fashion.

It is the end of a wonderful era that I wanted to capture and celebrate by creating the Balenciaga “archetypes”— the people, the silhouettes, the vibes and the ideas that have all been fundamental in my work for this amazing house.

Moving on to the next chapter, this is my tribute to the creative research and work that me and my teams have done for the past 10 years. It is also my love letter to the most loyal and fashion forward audience that we have built around the house and connected with in this creative process.

Thank you and love forever. Demna.
