The Balenciaga Winter 2022 show featured models walking amidst a simulated blizzard that grew in intensity as the show progressed. Situated in the Hall 4 and 5 at Bourget Paris, the scenography comprised a brightly-illuminated circular field covered with artificial snow. A curved glass wall separated the audience, seated in two rows in a darkened corridor, from the environmental simulation, which included atmospheric effects, such as wind and fog, as well as a lighting design that accentuated the show's dramatic arc.
