INFiLED LED Displays Create Immersive Experience at Balenciaga 2020 Winter Fashion Show
March 2020 – Balenciaga Winter 2020 Fashion Show in Paris integrated perfectly art, fashion design and LED digital technology to create a unique experience. The dystopian theme combined with the strong visual impact of the 1000sqm INFiLED AM9 LED screens formed an impressive canvas for the fashion show.
World-famous fashion brand, Balenciaga, not only showed unique ingenuity in the fashion design production, but also created an immersive experience and breathtaking visual effect along the construction of the stage for the show.
The 2020 Winter Show was the first collection under the leadership of Balenciaga's new creative director Demna Gvasalia, for whom, clothing is the carrier of visual communication between the designer and the audience, while the application of LED digital displays is the bridge for such communication.
The water waves overflowing the stage beneath an apocalyptic LED sky worked as the soul shaper for the stage space. Looking up, the audience was amazed by the vast LED screen suspended from the ceiling. A large group of dark clouds rolling on the digital sky, were changed to a fiery orange scene, burning fire, thunder and lightning. The image of a fragile blue ball finally appeared, and a black shadow slowly covered it all creating a strong audiovisual impact.
All components – the LED screens and visual content, the cold-looking models that walked through the water alongside a soundtrack by BFRND – perfectly matched the theme to create awareness of climate change. Audiences could enjoy the ultimate immersive and hyper realistic experience while interacting with fashion.
It is the second time that INFiLED LED displays are used for Balenciaga´s fashion shows and have become an indispensable part of the venue design. The LED sky, an entire 1000sqm AM 9 display, was suspended by mounting brackets and corner locks and the screen cabinets were seamlessly connected ??resulting in a spectacular LED ceiling.
The AM LED series is the newest thin and lightweight solution for quick hanging, easy transportation and disassembly at the size of 1200 * 1200 mm, weighing just 8kg.
The LED panel can display ultra-clear, sharp images with high brightness, high refresh rate. It offers excellent performance at almost 80% of transparency.
