Campaign Cap

Year: Fall/Winter 2017

Since taking the helm at Balenciaga, Demna Gvasalia aimed to analyze the history of the maison, interpret it and then disrupt it. The result saw exaggerated tailoring, “bad taste” styling and oversized layering. In fact, some of the most provocative pieces seen in Balenciaga’s Fall/Winter 2017 are adorned with a perceptible take on Bernie Sanders’ campaign logo. This baseball cap features the “Bern-lenciaga” logo emblazoned on the front panel, using “2017” in place of 2016—the year Sanders was campaigning to become the President of the United States.
