MENSWEAR FALL WINTER 2017
The Fall Winter menswear Balenciaga collection raises a new set of proposals on the subject of corporate dressing. Both In-house observation and the external evidence of changing patterns of work have placed tailored coats and two-piece suits high on the agenda. At full length, the overcoat, slightly curved in at the waist, and the calibrated realignment of the unpadded, sloping shoulder are starting points for the collection which conceals modernizing warmth, softness and comfort into the stiff archetypes of business attire.
Work began with the idea of tailoring, coupled with the fact that Balenciaga now shares its Paris premises with the corporate headquarters of the parent company Kering. Those two strands have converged in a discussion of how categories of hierarchical go-to-work uniform are being broken down in creative, tech and sport industries, and by men on the daily commute. The result is a reading of contemporary reality spanning the formal and casual, aimed at the breadth of an inter-generational audience.
The classic roomily-tailored jackets are reproportioned with super-low cut narrow trousers; the novelty of Balenciaga ties suggested for men who’ve never worn suits. On the other hand, utilitarian pieces are upgraded: ‘rugby coach‘ coats, padded against the cold, flannel shirts and peacoat-shirt hybrids internally quilted. Even ultimate comfort of the elasticated-waist pyjama pant gets an endorsement, made over in luxury-grade wool. Unmissably present are the other codes, such as Balenciaga and Kering brand logo-texts which pepper this collection throughout.
Balenciaga menswear Fall Winter 17 accessories collection included from high stocking to strap-held man-bag, hoodie to printed scarf-flag. All of this comes grounded in real, heavy-duty, high fashion-spec footwear: either biker boots or the new season’s innovation of the Balenciaga Triple-S sneaker, a ready broken-in product constructed with three stacked soles.
