Balenciaga 2009 Pre-Fall Collection Focuses on Gloves to Keep Hands Hot

Balenciaga’s 2009 Pre-Fall collection was full of fashions one might imagine an affluent, well-styled Italian woman to would wear on a chilly afternoon stroll through Milan. It also had a few over-the-top looks worthy of a good giggle, like the big, furry black ones above that look like gorilla arms.

The Balenciaga Pre-Fall 2009 collection was all about gloves, from dainty, black leather gloves to big puff ball mitts sure to keep any Russian buyers warmly chic in winter. Building on the theme, they also included a vest suitable for anyone looking to unleash their inner Yeti.
