Balenciaga's latest collection started off quite normal, with loosely cut tailored garments and a few logoed tees. Then Demna Gvasalia opted to reference his first few collections with overly padded coats to create Frankenstein's monster-like proportions on top with coats dangling over the body while pops of color like hot pink and lime littered the collection on bags, slouchy trousers and more while Balenciaga's now-signature oversized (and overpriced) hoodies rounded out the expansive collection.

Demna Gvasalia of Balenciaga took the audience for a ride for the Parisian label's SS19 show, offering an immersive digital experience that at times overshadowed the collection. After settling into Balenciaga and figuring out what his vision for the famed house is, Gvasalia seems to be refining that vision and that came in the form of a stronger focus on tailoring, still offering the oversized squared shoulders he is now famous for. There were also some great, albeit off season, coats while a series of printed shirts offered a lighter take, with prints of people in various yoga poses or one that harked on money and possessions.

Demna Gvasalia does his first Pre-Fall collection for Balenciaga. These inter-season collections have been increasingly popular in womenswear and have only recently started popping up in the men's market. Pre-Fall or Pre-Spring collections are in stores for a long period of time than the main SS and FW collections and offer a wider range of clothing, perfectly suited for the transitional weather For Pre-Fall 2018, Gvasalia foreshadowed his main-FW18 collection with one that offered oversized coats, fanny packs, and some covetable footwear, with some intersectional fashion for men and women.

Balenciaga showed men's and women's together for the first time since Demna Gvasalia started at the Paris-based maison two years ago. What followed was a cohesive show that melded the tailoring codes of the house and brought to the modern ages with the help of 3D imaging and printing, as well as technical fabrics molded over classic ones. The final section of the collection had an activist twinge with the label donating 250,000 Euros to the World Food Program and with portions of this FW18 collection going towards the program to help end world hunger.

Balenciaga's Demna Gvasalia tapped Swiss families from Zurich to walk in the label's SS18 show that showed tiered trousers, the label's now-requisite oversized hoodies, and a bit of narrative that highlighted the current state of European affairs. Switzerland is, after all, neutral but this collection generally wasn't. It advocated for a united Europe with a (relatively) big helping of diversity in the cast while the aforementioned tiered pants could be seen as a metaphor for different fabrics (or people) living peacefully together. Meanwhile, the slouchy tailoring Gvasalia created were very fresh and inviting but a smattering of puffers seemed weirdly positioned in an otherwise light collection.

Demna Gvasalia injected tailoring into his latest collection for Balenciaga, like the baggy pinstripe suits shown. However, the collection was unsurprisingly laid back with shirts full unbuttoned, revealing the tiny frames that wore the baggy clothes. There were Balenciaga branded boots, from combat to moonboots, as well sweatshirts that were branded with the Balenciaga logo or that of its parent company, Kering, pronounced "caring". How apt. In the end, the collection had the hallmarks of Gvasalia's aesthetic: wide and baggy and an emphasis on dramatic shoulders and silhouettes.

Demna Gvasalia's appointment to Balenciaga has been quite polarizing. Some find his inexperience not worthy of the lofty Balenciaga house and others think his aesthetics, or that of his label Vetements, is too much in contrast with what Cristobal proffered. While others love what he does. For his debut menswear collection, and Balenciaga's first ever men's runway show, he continued to polarize the audience with a top-heavy collection that pantomimed the broad shoulders of the 80s, or that of American footballers in their uniforms. Meanwhile, bottoms were voluminous and boxy. The collection hit its apex with the final few looks, much more austere with peeks of lace here and there, as well as some ornate patterns that looked rich and luxurious.

Architectural designs from Balenciaga injected formality to the label which has been trending more sporty and athletic since Alexander Wang took over the reigns. There were structured jackets, slim and streamlined tailoring, as well as a myriad of very chic military-inspired coats, like an olive trench and a snakeskin bomber.

Now that Alexander Wang has had his time figuring out who the Balenciaga Man is, the Fall/Winter 2015 collection revealed itself to be just as strong as it was without the American-born designer. The striking silhouettes and futuristic designs are fresh and fetching. What Wang brings to the table is a more focused vision and adding a bit of street-friendly details (think graphics) though the strongest points of the collection were rooted in the beautiful coats and sublime tailoring skills that's been Balenciaga's strongest asset for years, even before Mr. Wang took over.

Balenciaga's austere Spring/Summer 2015 collection reinforced the safe attitude on designs that many labels have stuck to this season. There were great coats, with rounded shoulders, many with an emphasis on cinched waists but nothing really veered too far from the norm.

Alexander Wang's time at Balenciaga has not greatly influenced the men's line (yet). Take the FW14 collection, where Wang advised, but the atelier that worked under Ghesquiere continued the stark vision for Balenciaga Homme. For the upcoming season there was plenty to like, from a chic double breasts coat with leather detailing on the lapels and collars to geometric patterns on knits and a shiny low pile fur jacket with rolled collar.
