Models wore extreme facial prosthetics at the Balenciaga show

As WWD reports, the show’s notes described the collection as a reimagined dressing for a working person’s lifestyle: “power dressing, no matter what one does as a job.
But there was one detail, not seen in the clothes, that was hard to overlook. The exaggerated elements of the pieces had also extended to the beauty component: Models sported prosthetic facial makeup that resembled extreme cheek implants and enlarged lips, while others had more hollowed-out cheeks.

Balenciaga’s creative director, Demna Gvasalia, told WWD that the collection was about dressing in a uniform. “It’s like fashion as uniform to me,” he said. “Like, I try to imagine and to kind of create this aesthetic uniform.”
