Balenciaga, the luxury fashion brand known for its eccentric aesthetics and ideas, has yet again made headlines for its latest fashion show at the Paris fashion week.
This time they organised the show in a large mud pit with models including the rapper Ye (Kanye West) and supermodel Bella Hadid making their way through the dirt instead of a traditional ramp.
In a statement shared by Demna Gvasalia, the creative director of Balenciaga, he said, "The set of this show is a metaphor for digging for truth and being down to earth."
