Balenciaga took Hollywood by storm, captivating A-listers like Kim Kardashian , Nicole Kidman, Salma Hayek and more at its Los Angeles show on Saturday. The event showcased the fashion house’s much-anticipated Fall 2024 collection, marking its first-ever runway in the city of stars.
In a surprising twist, the Spanish fashion house added an element of mystery by keeping the L.A. show secret until the last minute. Journalists and guests received a unique package containing a silver ingot shaped like an energy bar the day before the event, hinting at a special collaboration with Erewhon, a natural food and products grocery store based in the city. The collab was unveiled with a charcoal-based drink available in Balenciaga stores, accompanied by a line of T-shirts and sweatshirts bearing the names of both iconic brands.
Hancock Park, an upscale residential area in Los Angeles known for its picturesque Tudor and Italian Renaissance-style mansions, served as the surprise venue for the show. Guests were treated to a unique experience on Windsor Boulevard, lined with palm trees and cordoned off for this exclusive occasion, adding an extra touch of glamour to Balenciaga’s Hollywood debut.
