Balenciaga will be showing its next collection via a video game
The pandemic has forced designers to come up with other ways to present their collections virtually, and Demna Gvasalia might’ve just taken it to the next level. The brand announced that it’ll be showcasing its Autumn 2021 collection via Afterworld: The Age of Tomorrow—its own video game set in 2031.
Players will be able to carry out tasks and get an “in-depth look at the new collection and the projected future in which it is intended to be worn”, and once you beat the game, you’ll be able to “transcend” afterworld—trippy.
The Balenciaga Autumn 2021 collection will go live on December 6, 2pm. Stay tuned.
Tod’s releases In Our Shoes campaign

Sporting the panelled sneakers from the Italian brand, the trio had a dance-off with students from New York University’s Tisch School of Arts at a rooftop, embracing the vibrant energy of the Big Apple.
The second chapter will be unveiled in Spring 2021.
