Designed by Balenciaga’s in-house team between Alexander Wang’s departure and Demna Gvasalia’s installation as the new creative director, the French label’s pre-fall 2016 collection somehow manages to have a distinctly Gvasalia feel with its oversized proportions and streetwear influences. The transitional season calls for logo emblazoned pieces ranging from sash-like stoles to jacket collars. A palette of grey, black, navy and white is brought a pop of color with neons and red. House codes like a windowpane print are paired with thigh-high boots and aviator jackets. Finishing the look, a knitted beanie (which almost looks like a swimmer’s cap) accessorizes a few looks.
