The Fall 25 collection is presented as a series of ‘internal-use ’images captured by Demna on his phone. These photos, typically used to finalize styling, show the looks in their purest form—without the usual hair & makeup, or scenography. The collection debuts as a watermarked image leaked on Demna's personal social media. It is a study of a complete wardrobe, with a focus on comfort; beginning with minimal eveningwear and Garde-Robe looks, transitioning to more conceptual Casual Everyday Outfits, followed by Balenciaga Uniforms, Brand Ambassador fan club merch, and Tracksuit ‘Party Dresses’; demonstrating the large spectrum of Demna’s aesthetic vision.
The collection is bookended by contrasting interpretations of the ubiquitous T-shirt: a Cocoon maxi dress in fluid black jersey and its counterpart, a Semi-Fitted white bodycon t-shirt minidress. This dichotomy of extremes appears throughout: crisp“ Brand New With Tags” garments VS. Ultra-destroyed pieces / overstuffed, padded slippers VS. shoes reduced to clip-on soles / voluminous skirts VS.‘ micro-skirts ’/ multilayered maximalist ensembles VS. looks made of single garments Austere, monolithic silhouettes include maxi-skirt tailored tracksuits in pleated nylon, linen, and fluid twill, a Semi-Fitted maxi coat in chunky wool gabardine, and an ‘Old Hollywood ’kaftan in fluid viscose jersey— inspired by M. Balenciaga’s 1951 Semi-Fitted silhouette.
Casual Everyday Outfits reimagine the two piece suit as modern Neo-Suits made of hooded zip-up jackets and trousers in workwear cotton, linen, or stonewashed shirting flannel. Archetypal outerwear is transformed into mega-scarves, wrapped with a couture attitude. Hybrid looks feature ripstop workwear fronts spliced to tracksuit backs, cut-up cargo pants patched onto tracksuit bottoms, and cocoon Western leather jackets with hacked-off fringes and ‘collar-hoods’; and a football jersey recontextualised in laser-cut calfskin “mesh”. Proportions are inverted, with oversized shirts compressed under shrunken knits, engineered as all-in-one tops.
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.
