“Balenciaga's live on Insta, it’s scary”, “Balenciaga's marketing campaign is a huge nightmarish mystery. Obviously fascinating", "The Balenciaga Instagram live made me feel very uncomfortable", "I can't wait for the creators of Balenciaga to finish their social experience"... The new spring-summer 2020 campaign of Balenciaga, launched on the web a few hours ago, clearly did not leave Internet users unmoved.
