On May 23, TIME magazine published a list of the most influential people of 2022, which included Georgian designer Demna Gvasalia.
“When I look at the Balenciaga collection created by Demna, my heart is always racing. It’s exactly like the feeling when I was flipping through my mother’s fashion magazines as a child. In his works I feel care and respect for Balenciaga’s history, heritage and its creator, Cristóbal. Demna’s work is both new and ahead of its time.
A year ago, I was honored to wear Balenciaga’s three hats for the Euphoria premiere, and I felt how delicately complex but at the same time comfortable the outfits he created were. You feel strong and independent in Demna clothes. his silhouettes – loose or tight, as if it fits all parts of the body. The dualism that Demna offers not only reflects time, but also moves forward, towards the future. His intentions go deeper than just selling the product, and that is why Balenciaga’s effects are being felt around the world.”
