Demna Gvasalia launches the fake Balenciaga hotline
The telephone number on the clothes of the FW18 collection
March 5th, 2018
Demna Gvasalia has just presented its Balenciaga FW18 collection.
The show co-ed amplified the designer's normcore taste, his love for overlapping and layered shapes, over-sized volumes and contrasting patterns, all details ennobled by the partnership with the World Food Program.
The most attentive will have noticed, among the 72 looks of the collection, on some shirts and some suits with a printed French telephone number, chosen by Gvasalia to replace the usual prints that have tired him.
If you try to dial the number (+33 156 528 799), you will be connected to a fake hotline.
A female and robotic voice explains that you are going to be asked 20 questions of various kinds, from if you have a pet to your marital status, from which is your gender to what is your shoe size.
At the end of the questionnaire, the voice thanks you for answering and informs you that
