Kim Kardashian And Balenciaga Made Yellow Caution Tape High Fashion

Kim Kardashian has taken logomania to a new level.

The newest face of Balenciaga made an eye-catching appearance at the house's Winter '22 show in Paris last night. In one of her most avant-garde yet familiar looks yet, the star was covered neck-to-toe in yellow caution tape printed with the brand's name, fashioned into a skintight catsuit. The look also included built-in stiletto boots and a version of the brand's Hourglass handle bag also covered in the tape.

The Skims founder kept her hair simple, wearing a slicked-back "wet look" hairstyle, and skipped the jewelry, keeping all eyes on the suit. The effect was heightened by her black sunglasses, which she paired with a nude lip.

Of course, Kardashian's no stranger to a Balenciaga catsuit. Since becoming a muse for creative director Demna, the star has favored the bold, full-body suits in shades from neon pink to indigo blue, even adding a blacked-out head mask for last year's Met Gala. However this graphic statement, with the reality star literally branded in Balenciaga, is a great start to her official partnership with the Spanish-French house.

The caution tape look was also modeled during Gvasalia's wintery presentation, which he designed as a tribute to the war in his home country Ukraine. In a personal statement posted on Twitter, the designer opened up about his feelings about the current moment, reflected on his own experience as a refugee of the Georgian Civil War.

"The war in Ukraine has triggered the pain of a past trauma I have carried in me since 1993, when the same thing happened in my home country and I became a forever refugee," he wrote. "Forever, because that's something that stays in you. The fear, the desperation, the realization that no one wants you. But I also realized what really matters in life, the most important things, like life itself and human love and compassion."

"This is why working on this show this week was so incredibly hard for me. Because in a time like this, fashion loses its relevance and its actual right to exist. Fashion week feels like some kind of an absurdity. I thought for a moment about cancelling the show that I and my team worked hard on and were all looking forward to. But then I realized that cancelling this show would mean giving in, surrendering to the evil that has already hurt me so much for almost 30 years. I decided that I can no longer sacrifice parts of me to that senseless, heartless war of ego," he continued.

"This show needs no explanation. It is a dedication to fearlessness, to resistance, and to the victory of love and peace," the statement concluded.
