Balenciaga has just opened a new bi-level store in Madrid, Spain. The combined 394-square meter space offers the latest Balenciaga collections.   Its design extends the brand’s experiential Raw Architecture concept, which leaves surfaces intentionally untreated and adds faux-industrial elements to the mix. The boutique's construction respects existing structural elements and exposes their accumulated histories. Fewer new materials are used. This is in line with Balenciaga’s goal of sustainable production.   Plan a visit at https://lnkd.in/ewrPtvCM   BALENCIAGA MADRID Calle de José Ortega y Gasset N°10 28006 Madrid Spain

“This couture collection is a tribute to subculture dress codes as important influences of my fashion vocabulary. I chose four permanent components of Cristóbal Balenciaga’s last two decades of collections and applied them on my design aesthetic in order to create a bridge between Balenciaga’s signature elegance and silhouette and my own personal style.” - Demna   At the salons de Couture located at 10 avenue George V in Paris, Balenciaga presented its 53rd Couture Collection today. 39 looks including everyday wardrobe garments, a variety of upcycled and reconstructed pieces and gowns were introduced.   Discover the Balenciaga 53rd Couture Collection on https://lnkd.in/e8EJDuAh
