There's no question that models Adam Rhazali and Iwana Cristal want to turn heads. Donning the Balenciaga winter 21 collection in our September Taste issue, how could they not? An attitude that almost begs you to come closer – immersing yourself in the world they have created – the duo embody Balenciaga's disruptive but considered energy head to toe.

The collection, which first debuted earlier this year, speaks to the House's signature style codes. As we have come to expect from Demna Gvasalia's Balenciaga, a subtle nod to tailoring presents as the quiet hero underpinning the collection. Intentionally creased and large fitting, these pieces ground the collection in more than its street-cred fame. Of course, the integration of more relaxed, casual pieces has not gone astray.
If you're going to wear a sweatshirt, it should at least be Balenciaga.
