Balenciaga and Maison Margiela absent from January haute couture schedule

After Balenciaga twice postponed its haute couture debut - it was canceled over two consecutive seasons during the pandemic - it will also be absent from the forthcoming fashion week. France’s fashion body Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM) have released the SS22 provisional haute calendar from 24 to 27 January, but Balenciaga, once again, is conspicuously missing.
