3 reasons why Balenciaga T-shirts are favored and 5 recommended models

Balenciaga has been attracting the support of celebrities around the world and continues to attract attention as a leader in the fashion world. Focusing on the appeal of the T-shirts produced by the brand, we will introduce three reasons for the brand’s support and five recommended models.

Reasons why BALENCIAGA T-shirts are supported (1)The one and only design that strongly reflects Demna's identity

One of the current charms of “BALENCIAGA” is that the brand’s T-shirts have a unique design, One of the most attractive features of the current Balenciaga brand is the one-of-a-kind designs created by the artistic director, Demna Vasaria. The T-shirts currently available at Balenciaga are eye-catching with excessive damage and oversized silhouettes, all of which are a reflection of Demna’s own identity. In fact, Demna fled the conflict in Abkhazia when he was 10 years old and became a refugee. This harsh experience has deeply influenced his designs.

The damaged T-shirts developed by Balenciaga have a power and presence that is different from that of so-called vintage T-shirts. This is not only because of the exquisite faded texture supported by the recent trend of vintage clothing, but also because of Mr. Demna’s unique message that suggests anti-war and freedom. Other features include the obviously thick collar, the ribbed part at the neck that stands up like a mock neck, the heavily frayed shoulder line and cuffs, the damaged hem, and the long length as if the wearer were forced to wear hand-me-downs. This texture can only be created by Mr. Demna, who has refugee experience.

“Dud sneakers,” “mini purses,” “oversized” and more. It is no exaggeration to say that the men’s fashion trends that have attracted attention over the past few years have all been sparked by Balenciaga. One of the brand’s charms is that it has established an image of “If you want to look fashionable, you can’t go wrong wearing Balenciaga.

Recently, the A-line coordination of a just-fit T-shirt and dowdy wide pants has been attracting attention, and I personally believe that the popularity of such a style was largely influenced by Balenciaga, which introduced the trend of super baggy jeans. I think it is essential to check out Balenciaga in order to follow the fashion trends that are updated on a daily basis.

Reasons why BALENCIAGA T-shirts are so popular (3)Like modern art! Advanced processing techniques and iconic designs

The advanced vintage processing makes carefully sewn T-shirts look as if they have been time-lapsed from decades ago. In addition, prints reminiscent of pop architecture and corporate logos are used, and brand names are expressed by crimping on tape used in everyday life. Iconic designs that go beyond simple brand logos are one of the reasons why Balenciaga T-shirts are so popular.

Mr. Demna graduated from the Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts, which has produced such renowned designers as Dries Van Noten and Margiela, and worked as a designer at Maison Margiela and Louis Vuitton In 2014, he founded the fashion brand VETEMENTS (now VTMNTS) In 2014, he founded the fashion brand Vetements (now VTMNTS). The T-shirts reflect the “aesthetics of disruption” that can only be achieved through Demna’s thorough knowledge of the fundamentals of dressmaking.

From here, we will introduce five recommended models of Balenciaga T-shirts currently on sale. *Prices refer to the official online store in Japan as of August 23, 2024.

(1) UNITY SPORTS ICON CROPPED T-shirt

This T-shirt is from the ” Unity Sports Icon ” collection, a line that fuses Balenciaga’s signature style of streetwear and luxury fashion. It features bold graphics and a design focused on a contemporary sporty aesthetic. The hem is frayed with a cut and shagged hem, and the finish can be worn in the cropped length that has been in vogue lately.

(2) TAPE TYPE T-shirt, medium fit

Unisex T-shirt with brand logo expressed by realistic crimped tape. Balenciaga’s T-shirts are classified by fit, and this model is a medium fit. This model is a medium fit, but it is quite large in size. If you want to wear it in the size you usually choose, it is recommended to go down one or two sizes.

(3) PARIS LIBERTY T-shirt, medium fit

Focus on this eye-catching T-shirt with the Statue of Liberty in Paris and the word ” PARIS ” printed on it. Although the Statue of Liberty has a strong image of New York, it was originally a gift from France to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the independence of the United States of America. The Statue of Liberty in Paris is also known as a gift from Americans living in Paris to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution in return for France’s gift of the Statue of Liberty to the United States. The fade effect on the artwork and the destroyed and washed-out effect on the T-shirt give it a vintage T-shirt-like mood, with the collar, shoulders, cuffs, and hem frayed in a nice way. The Balenciaga brand logo is set in the same color at the hem of the back style.

(4) PLANET EARTH T-shirt, oversized

In the looks presented at the Winter 2024 collection, wears that incorporated samplings of familiar everyday designs stood out. This T-shirt features an artwork print reminiscent of the Hollywood movie-themed restaurant “Planet Hollywood. Planet Hollywood” was initially an explosive hit and rapidly expanded to include more restaurants, but it lost its scarcity value and went bankrupt twice. Furthermore, the logo T-shirts were less recognized and in less demand than those of the Hard Rock Cafe = they were more likely to be discarded without being sold at thrift stores. The wrinkling and “worn-out” effect, as if the T-shirts were pulled straight out of a random pile of clothes, is also interesting, as if focusing on the original source material.

(5) Garde-Robe Oversized T-shirt

If you like Balenciaga’s bold oversized T-shirts but don’t want to incorporate ragged-looking finishes or prints that look like corporate logos into your own style, we recommend the T-shirts from the collection named “Garde-Robe. Garde-Robe is a French word meaning “wardrobe,” and the collection is characterized by designs that incorporate no branding other than bold silhouettes and exquisite tailoring. The collection is characterized by bold silhouettes and exquisite tailoring with no branding whatsoever.
