For Balenciaga’s fall-winter 2017 collection, Demna Gvasalia continued his focus on oversized silhouettes and a play on proportion. The Georgian designer opened the show with a series of coats and jackets styled to the side. When the Balenciaga woman sheds her layers, what is revealed includes high-necked blouses and shirts paired with mid-length skirts and flared trousers.
