Balenciaga is a special short about the fashion house Balenciaga and Paris Fashion Week.

Plot[edit]

On New Year's Day, Homer puts Marge's birthday into the calendar, October 2nd. Homer thinks he has plenty of time to deal with her birthday. However, October comes up and Homer hasn't planned anything. Homer then goes to see Marge, who is sleeping with a magazine. Homer looks at the magazine and sees that Marge wants a Balenciaga dress. Homer gets in contact with Balenciaga and asks them if they can send him someone with a Balenciaga logo or, even just a tag. Balenciaga then send the dress that Marge wanted, along with the bill. On Marge's birthday, Marge opens the dress and puts it on. Homer and Marge then go out for the evening, with Homer trying to stop anything from getting on Marge's new dress so that they can return it. Marge then returns the dress and thanks Balenciaga for the dream.

Demna Gvasalia receives the returned dress and decides that he wants to reach Marge. The Balenciaga staff then go to Springfield where Demna Gvasalia tells everyone that he wants to fly everyone to Paris to model his clothes off. The people of Springfield don't care until Gvasalia mentions that they are opening a new KFC. In Paris, the people of Springfield get ready to model clothes off on the catwalk. The show then starts with everyone showing off different outfits. When it's Homer's turn, the employees struggle to get Homer into his outfit before they send him on. Eventually, Marge walks down the catwalk and everyone loves her. The people of Springfield then take a boat ride down the river and Homer sings to Marge. Homer gets set on fire and Demna Gvasalia tries to put him out with champagne. Homer is then put out with a Balenciaga sheet.
