On Wednesday, July 8, the fashion house Balenciaga presented it’s latest haute couture collection at Paris Fashion Week, the first designed by freshly-appointed creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli. But Piccioli’s garments weren’t the only new pieces of art revealed on the catwalk. The runway sountrack featured a recorded performance by ANOHNI, who covered verses from the late Selena’s “I Could Fall In Love” and Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day,” before seguing into three of her original songs: “Miracle Now,” “My Lord My Love,“ and “Hope There’s Someone.” Listen—and watch the show—below.
ANOHNI and the Johnsons released their most recent album, My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross, in 2023. In 2024, the group also shared a standalone song, “Breaking,” produced during the same sessions for that LP. More recently, ANOHNI appeared on the November 2024 Red Hot Organization benefit compilation Transa, contributing a cover of SOPHIE’s “Is It Cold In The Water?” with Moses Sumney.
