Demna Gvasalia Presents Balenciaga Dad Caps in 2017 Resort Collection
And candy cane-striped tunics head up the super-sized cuts.
The irony is never too distant in Demna Gvasalia’s collections whether it was the Balenciaga Shoppers that screamed “laundry bag” or the “streetwear” approach to debut the Fall/Winter 2016 campaign. Now Gvasalia’s reached Balenciaga collection number three and the theme is literally “resort” – everything imaginable on a winter Caribbean retreat.
That means dad caps have made it to a luxury brand and so have long candy-cane tunics. Vogue called the piece a “bathrobe coat with a matching towel thrown over one shoulder.” Paired with sandal “slippers,” it’s hard not to agree with that interpretation.
It’s a breezy collection but Gvasalia’s take is written all over it – who else could do urban vacation like that?
