I am thrilled to be joining Balenciaga as a brand ambassadorsaid Michelle Yeo. “For me, fashion is an art form. It’s not just about a dress, it’s about self-expression, how you feel in the dress and the values ​​you embody when you wear it. It’s a way to communicate my work and who I am to the world. Wearing Balenciaga makes me appreciate the art and craftsmanship behind each garment. The brand embodies a sense of originality while always staying true to its heritage as a tailoring atelier. It’s an honor to work with Balenciaga” he emphasized.
