So while it came as little surprise to see Kardashian make an appearance at the Balenciaga show today during Paris Fashion Week, held at the Le Bourget exhibition center on the north-eastern outskirts of the city, her choice of outfit was a little less expected: an athletic top and leggings covered entirely from Balenciaga branded packing tape that had been wrapped around her by hand, along with a matching version of the brand’s cult Hourglass handbag that had also been trussed up with the yellow and black tape. (The New York Times’s chief fashion critic Vanessa Friedman, who was sat near Kardashian throughout the show noted it made a “sticky tape-y sound” when she walked, and that she expressed her concerns it might rip when she sat down. Thankfully, those concerns ended up being misplaced.)

It marked an appropriately dramatic beginning to one of Gvasalia’s most breathtaking fashion shows yet. Staged in the round with an enormous set built to resemble an Arctic tundra, machines pumping out snow, wind, and fog—at one point, there were even bursts of artificial thunder and lightning—the runway had a post-apocalyptic atmosphere. Models walked to a soundtrack of thunderous industrial techno, their long skirts billowing behind them. It was the kind of epic spectacle that only Gvasalia could create—if you could take your eyes off Kardashian’s wild front-row look for a moment, that is.
