Balenciaga reigns in Shanghai

Some super-elongated, vertical silhouettes were apparently inspired by the high rise buildings in Pudong.

Balenciaga always carries a hidden sense of playfulness. Intentionally torn stockings make people no longer feel embarrassed about their condition, and "fake two-piece" jeans were introduced to make the trend of low-slung jeans revealing the wearer's underwear more comfortable. White evening gowns that appear to be made of white tissue paper up close, and pink feather haute couture dresses that, upon touch, reveal they are actually made of recycled ocean plastics also featured.
