Brand Crush: Balenciaga!
By Heather Cairns - Tuesday, August 23, 2011
Voi has just unwrapped some modern designs from coveted French label, Balenciaga. The house's head designer , Nicholas Ghesquiere has turned the traditionally sophisticated label into a haute rock'n'roll statement, with his design genius. In his ten-year-plus reign at the house, he has been one of the designers responsible for making statement accessories a core focus in fashion today. His long collaboration with shoe designer Pierre Hardy has resulted in some of the most memorable shapes in modern fashion. Who could forget the 'lego-shoe'!
In the Balengiaga Fall 2011 campaign, featured here, we see how designer Nicolas Ghesquiere always has a knack for linking unusual in fashion today and visual elements. In the campaign, shot by Steven Meisel, models Julia Nobis, Liya Kebede, Liisa Winkler, Milou Van Groesen, Juliane Gruner, and Carla Gebhart strut their stuff in a gothic Harlem church, forming tableaux of movement akin to a classical painting. These scenes are juxtaposed with the clinical lines of a tiled space – a complete opposite to the church setting yet somehow the two make perfect sense together.
With the latest arrivals at Voi Sydney, we can identify his knack for combining unusual elements. Like Balenciaga pants printed with wood and hexangonal bee-hive mini skirts (featured below). One this is for sure our Balenciaga arrivals won't last long - See you in store!
