A lot was riding on Gvasalia's first couture collection for Balenciaga since the designer, who is also the co-founder of Vetements, joined the couture house in 2015. It's no small feat to step into the shoes of one of fashion's most legendary figures who was known as the master of haute couture. And so Gvasalia opted to respectfully pay tribute in every way, starting with renovating and hosting the show at Balenciaga's intimate salon where he once presented his collections. The pieces too, in exaggerated proportions, were an homage to the master, who created incredible silhouettes for women using the shape of his garments.
