BALENCIAGA PRE-FALL 2024 COLLECTION: CARDI B “DEBUT”, NICOLE KIDMAN REPRESENT HOLLYWOOD GLAMOR
Jan
Located in downtown Los Angeles, Balenciaga returned with its Pre-Fall 2024 collection presented at Windsor Square Avenue. Sock-like high heels converge on a quiet tree-lined street, which is known as a place reserved for wealthy Hollywood families. To ensure security, the location of the Balenciaga Pre-Fall 2024 collection show was kept secret from guests attending. They were brought in from drop-off locations a few blocks away. With long lines of black-painted SUVs and security guards wearing headphones, the guests showed up in matching goth-glam outfits.
Celebrities like Cardi B, the Kardashian sisters or Brigitte Nielsen walk on the streets of Los Angeles, surrounded by palm trees and the legendary Hollywood sign looming behind them. Brand ambassador Nicole Kidman is also on hand to take on this new role. The actress chose a velvet dress with two black buttons, long sleeves and a unique neckline, gloves, tights, pointed heels and an accompanying mini clutch to complete the outfit. . Kim Kardashian, sitting with sister Kendall, carried a leather bag crafted to look like a brown paper Erewhon shopping bag – an iconic image of the LA “IT-Girl” – filled with flowers that she gifted to Creative Director Demna after the show. Natasha Lyonne wore a pink velvet hoodie, while Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham went all black. Vittoria Ceretti and Lil Wayne can both be seen in the front row. Also in attendance were Salma Hayek and her husband François-Henri Pinault, chairman and CEO of Kering, as well as Eva Longoria, Tracee Ellis Ross, Joey King, Lisa Rinna, Storm Reid, Tinashe, Natasha Lyonne, Elizabeth Banks, Rachel Sennott , Samara Weaving, Taylor Zakhar Perez and Meghann Fahy.
The show began with techno music combined with health-themed radio advertisements. The Balenciaga Pre-Fall 2024 collection serves as an ironic commentary on “Angeleno” style (a word used to refer to people from Los Angeles): UGG-inspired stiletto sheepskin boots, “flattering” thongs. peeking out” from low-waisted tracksuits and leather Erewhon bags, as well as portable coffee cups, yoga mats and reusable metal water bottles. Cardi B “hugs” her cobalt blue fur coat tightly, playing the role of a famous model with strong influence; while Brigitte Nielsen, a former Helmut Newton model, wore rubber boots over body-hugging denim and a fitted turtleneck.
Los Angeles has long been criticized for its inconsistent and unstable fashion scene, while New York City is hailed as the mecca of high fashion in America. Balenciaga’s latest “presentation” is certainly making a strong case for the American West’s impact on an entire billion-dollar industry and pop culture, even if it’s ironic. satire.
