From hanging with Demna to joining the Balenciaga after-party in Chinatown, Chiu shares a day in the life of a fashion VIP

The day of a fashion show is absolutely chaotic, but as a fixture of the front row, Christine Chiu loves every minute of it.

The Bling Empire star got a ticket to the biggest show of the month: Balenciaga’s Spring 2023 presentation, held at New York City’s historic Stock Exchange building.

Joining fellow guests Kanye West, Pharrell Williams and Megan Thee Stallion, Chiu was one of the first to see the new collection as it came down the runway, including the buzzy Balenciaga x Adidas collaboration. The fashion insider also hung out with Balenciaga designer Demna Gvasalia and joined the fashion brand’s exclusive after-party in Chinatown—all while dressed in Balenciaga couture.

Below, the style maven shares her fashion show diary.
