More About Balenciaga's 'Bath Towel Skirt'
The garment was unveiled during the Spring 2024 show recently held in Paris. The piece looks closely like a quickly wrapped towel around one's waist. It is said to be a unisex product with adjustable features for customers. The design is attributed to none other than Demna Gvasalia, a Georgian fashion designer currently working with Balenciaga.
The Balenciaga designer told the media that he believes himself to be a "forever designer" looking forward to spotlight garments. "I have decided to go back to my roots in fashion as well as to the roots of Balenciaga, which is making quality clothes—not making image or buzz."
