Balenciaga’s Fall 2025 collection pushes the boundaries of fashion and art, with creative director Demna once again breaking the mold. Known for his unconventional approach, Demna delivers a collection that is anything but predictable, challenging the traditional lines between high fashion and streetwear. For this season, Balenciaga has embraced a unique blend of irony, casual wear, and luxury, all while blurring the lines between everyday life and the avant-garde.
What makes this launch particularly striking is the choice of presentation: the collection’s imagery was released in a raw, behind-the-scenes style, straight from Demna’s personal Instagram, complete with the telltale Balenciaga watermarks. The images, initially intended for “internal use,” evoke a sense of rawness and authenticity that contrasts sharply with the polished world of high fashion. This “leak” approach is a perfect reflection of Demna’s ongoing subversion of the fashion industry, where reality often collides with artifice.
The Fall 2025 lineup showcases a fascinating dialogue between opposites. Everyday staples, like graphic t-shirts featuring the likes of Kim Kardashian and Michelle Yeoh, sit alongside high-fashion pieces such as fluid maxi dresses and semi-fitted mini-dresses. This play of extremes continues throughout the collection, with distressed garments sitting next to pristine new items, and oversized skirts contrasting with micro-skirts crafted from men’s briefs. It’s a collection where contradictions become the new norm, and where the simplicity of daily life meets the extravagance of couture.
One of the most anticipated elements of this collection is the Lamborghini collaboration. Demna takes the brand’s usual tongue-in-cheek approach to new heights, presenting a co-branded graphic tee featuring the Lamborghini Temerario 2025 model, alongside more playful nods to the world of motorsport. Items such as driver’s manual-inspired clutches, car key fob accessories, leather bombers, and racing jackets are a part of this limited edition drop. The collection also features Balenciaga’s signature accessories, like the Rodeo and Hourglass bags, now emblazoned with Lamborghini’s iconic shield insignia, merging the worlds of high-end fashion and luxury automobiles.
The Balenciaga Fall 2025 collection doesn’t shy away from blending high fashion with everyday functionality. A notable piece is the self-referential CEO and CMO sweater, a nod to the corporate world that remains a key inspiration for Demna. Functional yet stylish, items like tracksuits, reversible Arctic parkas, surplus-style knitwear, and corporate poplin shirts merge into the collection, alongside the striking orthopedic stilettos from the Balenciaga x Scholl collaboration, which bring an element of unexpected comfort to the otherwise edgy line-up.
As always with Balenciaga, accessories play a major role in defining the collection. Oversized inside-out purses, repurposed outerwear scarves, and even car-inspired leather goods make their mark, adding layers of detail to the already ultra-layered looks.
