Vetements designer Demna Gvasalia made his debut for Balenciaga during women’s week last season, but this was his first menswear show for the brand, which took place on a roof during Paris Fashion Week. He brought his exaggerated proportions and skinhead models to the runway as usual, adding baseball hats, Ikea-like totes, and knee-high heeled boots for spring 2017. Overall, the collection was a mix of high and low; hard and soft, with luxurious materials like jacquard silk paired with dainty crop tops and lace trim, as well as leather dusters and what can only be described as major shoulder pads.
