As for menswear, suits materialize, their appearance akin to Prince of Wales check or pinstriped wool, yet deceiving. A defined waistline accentuates the wearer's silhouette. The sartorial narrative then shifts into the realm of architectural tailoring, where sharp shoulders and a curved-V neckline pay homage to the hemlines of the couturier's original tailored jackets. Velvet flowers intertwine with an integrated pearl necklace, evoking a sense of nostalgia while embracing contemporary sensibilities.

Balenciaga now pays homage to this iconic piece by reimagining it in a mirrored construct, bridging the gap between the past and the present. This particular creation held a special place in Slavic’s heart, forever etching itself into her memory as the pinnacle of sartorial excellence.

The show commenced with an interpretation of an original Cristóbal Balenciaga design famously worn by Danielle Slavik, the couturier’s favored muse from 1964 to 1968.
