This Is What Happens When You Call Balenciaga's New Hotline
20 questions with the Parisian label.

Along with the graffiti mountain set, new sneakers and exaggerated layering of Balenciaga‘s Fall 2018 show at Paris Fashion Week, one of the standout features was a phone number splashed across a series of shirts. The number — with a French dialling code — was a new hotline created by the label for the show.
The meaning of the number remained a mystery, so The Cut decided to give it a call. When the hotline connects, the call begins with “Hi and welcome to the new Balenciaga hotline. We would like to ask you a few questions.” Following this, 20 questions – covering everything from your shoe size and height to your favorite taste or method of transportation — are asked. All of your answers are confidential and deleted when you hang up, allowing you to share your deepest feelings with the Demna Gvaslia-helmed brand. According to The Cut, the 20-question call lasts roughly six minutes. You can read all of the questions below.
