Balenciaga’s Fall 2025 collection, helmed by creative director Demna, challenges fashion norms by unveiling its essence through stripped-back imagery. Presented as watermarked phone snapshots typically used for internal styling decisions, the collection makes its public debut on Demna’s personal social media. This unconventional approach highlights the raw integrity of the garments, focusing solely on the clothing without the embellishments of hair, makeup, or elaborate scenography.
Balenciaga’s Fall 2025 collection is a study in contrasts, showcasing a progression from minimal eveningwear and tailored Garde-Robelooks to conceptual Casual Everyday Outfits, Uniforms, Brand Ambassador merch, and even Tracksuit “Party Dresses.” This journey through Demna’s aesthetic vision merges comfort and innovation, reimagining everyday staples into extraordinary designs.

The idea of the most comfortable biker suit: a sweatsuit disguised as a leather jacket and motorcycle pants, alongside other “sweatsuits” in trompe-l’oeil Japanese denim woven to look like melange molleton; Balenciaga I Scholl Travel Wear sweatsuits worn with memory foam leather neck pillows, and the ultimate tracksuit in micro-check shirting fabric.
Utilitarian Balenciaga Uniforms feature hooded coach’s jacket tracksuits, reversible Arctic parkas and gilets, nylon MA-1 jackets with permanent washable Jacron tags, ribbed surplus-style utility knitwear, and poplin uniform shirts with corporate iconography.
House Ambassador autographed ‘fan-club ’t-shirts are worn with‘ micro-skirts ’made from sliced men’s boxer briefs, and ephemeral temporary tattoo “jewelry”.
A complete Balenciaga I Automobili Lamborghini wardrobe features a leather racing jacket and various other garments and accessorises with Temerario key fob accents and Shield emblems.
Footwear includes the “most comfortable heels” ever made, including styles from the Balenciaga I Scholl collaboration, integrating orthopaedic cork footbeds into stilettos, heeled sandals, and boots, alongside cushioned Château slippers in velvet and calfskin, Monday sneakers on heels, and Comfort cuissardes with tubular knit uppers and padded footbeds.
Five-toe anatomic runners slip on with elasticated uppers and a closed lacing system. The Zero, an ultralight 3-D moulded EVA sole—secured by a heelcup and toe groov—distills footwear to its essence; bringing it as close as possible to being barefoot. Loafers are made as distressed prom ‘Guy’ shoes, and Poulaine stiletto cuissardes feature upturned toes that reveal BB taps.
Eyewear ranges from mono-hinge Afterhour sunglasses with seamless arm-lenses to double-layered Superbusy frames and Skiwear masks worn as sunglasses.
Bags are crafted inside-out and reversible or in distressed, scratchy calfskin with Megaplaque BB license plates. Balenciaga I Automobili Lamborghini Dashboard clutches, inspired by car owner’s manual cases are adorned with key fob charms.
This Balenciaga collection is insane! The way they use nylon and leather to push fashion limits is great. Brilliant use of sliced boxer underwear for micro-skirts. Plus those shoes! Brilliant orthopedic cork footbed heels for comfort. The collection is a masterclass in innovative problem-solving and fashion redefinition.
