Heart of Darkness for Balenciaga

Balenciaga‘s Creative Director Demna Gvasalia could never have guessed how prescient his apocalyptic vision for Fall/Winter 2020 would turn out to be. 2020: a year that sounded so futuristic, that held so much promise, soon became synonymous with pain. A viral pandemic spread the globe, deaths rose, climate change catastrophes grew, political turmoil spilled into the streets, civil protests surged, a city was decimated by one of the largest explosions in history.
