Double skirt in heavy houndstooth wool
Balenciaga • Fall-Winter 2016
-
Much of Demna Gvasalia’s inaugural collection for Balenciaga was an attempt at translating Cristobál Balenciaga’s couture methodology into a contemporary context.
For this skirt in houndstooth wool, that translation was conducted through the lens of deconstruction. It consists of two skirts layered atop each other: an A-line skirt on the exterior wraps over a pencil skirt underneath, both connected on the front waistband.
Unfastening the back button completely transforms the piece, enabling access to the side pockets and further emphasizing the garment’s unique construction.
