The Balenciaga Jacket Everyone Owns
Demna Gvasalia’s sensational first season at Balenciaga proved to be a hit with the fashion crowd during the recent S/S 17 fashion week street style season. Editors in all of the major cities were spotted wearing the beautifully tailored pieces, which ranged from a tartan blazer with unexpected padding at the hips all the way to the coolest denim jacket we’ve ever seen—the subject of today’s post.
Though the jacket is practically sold out everywhere online (we included a link below), we couldn’t help but gather all of the ways women like Taylor Tomasi Hill and Pernille Teisbaek chose to style the statement piece.
