A creation from a 3D printer that refers to armor of Joan of Lorraine presented by the house Balenciaga at the show of his 52nd collection, which took place in his atelier and showroom at number 10 Avenue George V in Paris, whose extension was recently completed by the architectural firm Sub.

The show began with reinterpretations by Balenciaga’s creative director, Mr Demna Gvasalia, a design created between 1964 and 1968 by the founder of the house, Cristóbal Balenciaga. At some point, trompe l’œil garments began to appear, made from hand-painted raw linen; creations from this imitated the appearance of fabrics and materials such as virgin leather, pie de poule and batik with python skin. Each garment featured hand-painted buttons, lapels, pockets and pleats. Brushes of oil paint, which the house says can take up to 280 hours to complete, added dimension to the raw linen. Windblown outerwear, such as sculptural scarves and floor-length cotton trench coats, seemed frozen in time. “Taking inspiration from a work by British painter and designer Lucian Freud, the ‘Coup De Vent’ coat is designed to look like it’s caught in the wind“, Balenciaga explained.
The final creation was a 3D-printed, tin-plated, chrome-plated resin armor, with a hem that was millimeters from the showroom floor mats. Joan of Arc “if she wore this, maybe she wouldn’t have been burned at the stake, because she was wearing men’s clothes,” said Demna Gvasalia, speaking to Vogue after the show.
