.BALENCIAGA's Demna, who made waves with couture, 'The Simpsons,' clones and a masked turn at the Met Gala, is WWD's Newsmaker of the Year.
: It’s like the opposite of my comfort zone. I felt really like I was on a different planet. The mask was really a kind of a shield between me and whatever was happening around, so I could pretend it’s almost not me, because I felt so uncomfortable there. At the same time, I couldn’t see much, and that made me less anxious. It really helped me to survive it in some way.There’s a big show-business part of Balenciaga, yet behind the scenes you continue to quietly expand the product universe.
But then there is this other part of clothing that I always love and I actually come from there. You know, the first piece that I really made myself with my hands was a single-breasted, tailored jacket for men. I really come from tailoring in terms of my fashion education, more than from deconstruction, and I kind of miss that a bit.
But I have to say, recently I have noticed something, and maybe this is actually what really drives me rather than being self-centered in the morning about what I’m going to wear.
