At the Balenciaga FW24 show, each invitation was a whimsical surprise: a quirky object sourced from the depths of eBay, Demna‘s playground for antique treasures.
From vases to plastic dolphins, guests received a glimpse into the eclectic world of the designer’s inspiration. On the runway, this avant-garde spirit culminated in a Balenciaga X eBay collaboration, showcasing pieces emblazoned with the online marketplace’s iconic logo.
The show itself was an immersive spectacle, with screens enveloping the audience, adorned with AI-generated imagery curated in collaboration with COUR and Sub studios. Natural landscapes danced and merged, creating a mesmerizing backdrop for the avant-garde fashion unfolding before the audience’s eyes.

As for the garments, this season was a celebration of Demna’s signature style. Punky leopard prints clashed with cascading sequins, while layers upon layers of chains added a rebellious edge. The collection boasted ingenious layering techniques, including a dress crafted entirely from knickers and bags repurposed as clothing.
Beanies pulled over eyes were aptly dubbed ‘Coolest beanie ever’ in the show notes, and the iconic Balenciaga packing tape made a triumphant return, serving as a delightfully DIY method of cinching garments.
