Imagine, if you will, a lush spring day over the weekend where it’s windy enough for a layered look, but the warmth of the sun just beckons you to have a family day out. Be it a picnic on the shores of a beach or even a trip down to the grocery store for snacks for a movie night with the family, Balenciaga has adapted that feeling of leisure and homespun charm into a collection devoted to young dads, free from work, spending time with their kids.
A direct evolution from Balenciaga’s Fall Winter ’17 collection which studied the nature of a corporate male, the inspiration for the Spring Summer collection of 2018 now shows the same men, out of the office, relaxed and observed at their happiest. Presented in the Spring Summer line up are polo and rugby shirts, outdoor hiking gear, lived-in and slouch jeans as well as oversized tailored jackets with a built-in “Grand-dad†slouch to them, accentuated by weights in the sleeves and linings.
