The Balenciaga Spring 2025 collection just closed out the penultimate day of Paris Fashion Week. Stars like Nicole Kidman, Lindsay Lohan, Katy Perry, and Laetitia Casta flocked to the Cour du Dôme des Invalides for Demna’s latest showcase as creative director of the Kering-owned fashion house (founded in 1919 by Cristóbal Balenciaga). With a remix of Gimmie More by Britney Spears on the soundtrack, the Georgian fashion designer presented his tribute to clothes with a “point of view.” Models first emerged from backstage in an array of lingerie-inspired looks and toting the Balenciaga Rodeo handbag, strutting down the dining table-inspired runway. Throughout the collection, Demna experimented with hoodies and denim, transforming jeans into gaiters and showing oversized sweatshirts with slogans that read “Fashion Designer”. Tech-friendly accessories and gowns featuring Demna’s signature bold shoulder were also on full display.
Balenciaga Spring 2025 Collection Review
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Same shtick, different season. The sooner Balenciaga and Demna part ways the better. Absolutely cannot wait to move on from this monstrosity of a direction. This whole streetwear aesthetic for Balenciaga feels beyond tired, dated, and overplayed in 2024.” [vogue28]
“Why do we exist in a world where this vision of Balenciaga is tolerated…especially by luxury consumers?” [GERGIN]
“So pedestrian and basic. Remember when Balenciaga was synonymous with chic, fashion-forward clothes?” [tourbillions]
“This is why Bernard Arnault will continue to sleep sound in regards to competition from Kering. Utter trash.” [VogueDisciple93]
“What the hell is this? From the house to the street hooker. Streetwear destroys everything. I think Cristóbal would want to kill this man for sure.” [bennyboy]
“Why are people showing their collections in mausoleums? Not that I care, I’m only here for the laughs.” [Alquimista]
“I can’t make sense of it all. It’s so random and empty.” [PDFSD]
“I don’t understand him. Is he angry that he has to design clothes? What’s his problem?” [Machinegumm]
