Balenciaga presented its Resort 2027 collection on June 12, 2024, in Shanghai, marking the brand's first-ever resort show in China. Creative Director Demna showcased 60 looks that blended traditional Chinese aesthetics with the house's signature avant-garde style. The collection featured voluminous silhouettes, exaggerated shoulders, and intricate embroidery, drawing inspiration from historical Chinese garments and contemporary streetwear. Several pieces incorporated digital prints and innovative fabric treatments, reflecting a fusion of heritage and modernity. The show's venue, the Shanghai Exhibition Center, was transformed to create an immersive experience for the approximately 1,000 guests, including local celebrities and international fashion influencers.
