On Wednesday, July 8, the fashion house Balenciaga presented its 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.
