The eponymous brand of Cristobal Balenciaga – a man frequently referred to as the ‘King of Couture’ – has, like most fashion brands, had its ups and downs. One thing it has always stood for, however, is innovation. From the envelope pushing silhouettes and cuts devised by its founder to its modern guise under fashion world disruptor Demna Gvasalia, read on for a potted history of the house of Balenciaga.

Together with his brother Guram, Demna launched the brand Vetements in 2014, along with a small group of anonymous friends, displaying their work in small gay clubs in Paris. Demna has said that his original purpose with the brand was to subvert the high fashion status quo. Vetements’ first women’s ready-to-wear collection was presented at Paris Fashion Week in 2014. The collective was nominated for the LVMH’s Young Fashion Designer Prize after producing 3 collections.
In 2015, Demna became the creative director of Balenciaga, succeeding Alexander Wang.
In 2019, Demna left Vetements to pursue new artistic ventures, having accomplished his goals with the company, telling Highsnobiety that he had "accomplished [his] mission of a conceptualist and design innovator."
In August 2021, Demna collaborated with Kanye West, acting as the creative director for West’s second Donda album listening event, held at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
At the 2021 Met Gala at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art Demna walked the stairs with reality television star Kim Kardashian, both in his head-to-toe body feature obscuring Black Balenciaga designs completely masked, with Vogue offering that events rules had been rewritten.

One more gesture of solidarity from friendly Canada. Ukraine will receive 450 million Canadian dollars aid for fuel purchase before the heating season. Grateful to @JustinTrudeau, @cafreeland and all 🇨🇦 people for unwavering support of 🇺🇦 in the fight for freedom and democracy.

To me, the story here isn’t how a prominent pusher of hate against Jewish people ended up at a table with Trump. The story is the response of so many so far in a party that could nominate him: a shrug or indifference. All as many shrug or ignore his nods toward Q Anon conspiracy.

@JennaEllisEsq on the Club Q shooting. The “people killed in the nightclub that night, there is no evidence/that they were Christians. Assuming they have not accepted the truth/affirmed Christ as the lord of their life they are now reaping the consequences of eternal damnation.”

Earlier this year, SBF invested $11.5m in Farmington State Bank in Washington St. (nearly double the bank’s value).
It’s the 26th smallest bank in the US. It serves a town of 146 people. Has only 3 employees.

In bankruptcy filings, crypto exchange FTX revealed a curious connection to stablecoin Tether through a small bank in rural Washington. Farmington State Bank is in fact the 26th smallest bank in the US, out of over 4,700. Until this year, it employed three people.
The bank was first formed in 1929 in a sleepy town named Farmington, hugging the Idaho border. It’s home to just over 100 residents, and features zero restaurants, hotels, or pharmacies — it doesn’t even appear to have an ATM.
The fact that Farmington State Bank somehow finds itself embroiled in the largest cryptocurrency fraud in history is puzzling, disconcerting, and totally out of place, to say the least.
