Extensively, it was much less severe than last season's mod/punk fusion, yet still on the surface had a wrought iron intensity. The first piece, acting as a shield towards the entire collection, was a stout, buxom jacket, constructed from plump woven black pleather to safeguard a shock-absorbing bounce. The cruelly protective rigour extended with barbed-wire-esque meshing within a boxy sculpture, remaining consistently defensive right down to the vigilant ankle zips. Colour blocking took centre stage, solidly square, behind barriers of possessive swirling folds, swarming from neck to knee for seasonal warmth.
However, behind protective fabric fencing hid a kind vulnerability. Jack and the Beanstalk, utopious prints lent a gentle graze, dreamily exaggerated "almost like a hallucination, like when you are a child and everything seems bigger than it is" explains the designer. Luxe comfortable knits were stylishly slumbersome, contributing to the introduction of an asymmetrically folded, knee length skirts which delicately draped.
It was another Balenciaga banger, commited to conceptual design yet not entirely straying from wearability. Bravo monsieur Ghesquière, un vraiment chef-d-oeuvre
