Balenciaga SS18 Green Dragon Motif Short-Sleeve Shirt

Balenciaga SS18 Green Dragon Motif Short-Sleeve Shirt

Product Overview This shirt is a highly coveted archival piece from Demna Gvasalia’s defining Spring/Summer 2018 collection for Balenciaga. During this era, Demna completely redefined luxury streetwear by introducing loud, full-print, oversized resort shirts. The "Green Dragon" is widely considered one of the most iconic and recognizable graphics from this specific season, blending traditional East Asian motifs with a bold, contemporary luxury aesthetic.

Key Design Elements

• All-Over Dragon Graphic: The shirt features a vibrant, aggressive green dragon print that spans the entirety of the garment, making it an immediate, undeniable statement piece.

• Relaxed Resort Silhouette: Cut as a classic short-sleeve button-down, it utilizes a fluid, lightweight fabric that drapes perfectly off the shoulders, emphasizing a laid-back, street-ready energy.

• Demna-Era Collar: Features a soft, slightly spread collar that looks best worn open or layered loosely over a contrasting graphic tee.

Sizing & Fit Profile

• Tagged Size: 37 (Collar Size).

• Fit Note: In the Balenciaga community, a size 37 is often referred to as the "golden size"for a very specific reason. Demna’s shirting from this era is notoriously, massively oversized. A size 37 typically translates to a highly accommodating fit—often draping like a standard Large or even Extra Large—providing that signature exaggerated Balenciaga boxy silhouette without completely swallowing the wearer.
