Here's How Social Media Is Reacting to the Balengucci "Clones" Collection

in StyleWords By Contributor

Yesterday saw Demna Gvasalia continue what is being referred to as The Hacking Project with Balenciaga’s coed spring 2022 collection. The Georgian played off Alessandro Michele's "ARIA" sho by including various items that riff off the famous Gucci GG monogram canvass.

This time around, every look in the show was modelled by artist Eliza Douglas, and featured all the usual flourishes of Gvasalian humor and pop culture nods (The Simpsons hoodie, anyone?) Named "Clones," there were several manifestations of Gucci bags, but with "B's" instead of "G's" on the hardware. You can read our breaking review here.

Always one of the major events in the fashion calendar, as always, social media and online forums had plenty to say about the show. Find our round-up of takes below.

The hack wars are in full swing, but not everybody is convinced

Tripp Pants!

At the end of the day, Demna always gets people talking
