Balenciaga is obviously no stranger to the runway, but the label has never held its own menswear show — it has always presented its men’s collections by appointment only. That’s all about to change, however, as the French atelier has announced the first-ever menswear show in its 99-year history. “The show will debut the masculine vision of Balenciaga’s new artistic director Demna Gvasalia,” said the label in a statement.

Set for Paris Fashion Week later this summer, the runway show will take place June 22 and mark the premiere of the label’s brand new looks from the 34-year-old Vetements founder — who succeeded Alexander Wang following Wang’s departure from the label last October.
