Balenciaga F/W 2025.26 Paris

I feel like I haven't seen anything worthwhile from Balenciaga in more than a hot minute, and so much of their collections get heavily discounted now. This one is no different. Kering is such a mess.
 
just got the chance to watch it; awful just like everyone expected it to be. denma’s a lost cause; at least his stuff at vetements was CHARMING; this has no substance
 
I hate that I get this reference lol

Anyway, vile vile crap on the runway tonight. Apparently those track suit looks are a Puma collab. I really hope none of the reviewers will try to over-intellectualize this crap. It’s a rotten runway proposition not worthy of the house’s name

Low key waiting to read payola how this collection changed fashion and turned couture codes upside-down. Maybe Puma tracksuits are edgy interpretations of puma the original couturier saw during safari… lol. I assume there will be something to connect it to the “house codes”
 
the only modern designer working today. I want to get so much of what was shown today. Those dresses!!! The tailoring… The faux fur coat….
The casting was exceptionally good too.
 
See, it's a joke cause you know the price tags are gonna go crazy here but it is what regular young people look for and wear on the daily. They'll buy it on Shein or any given retail store that carries a street line for a couple bucks and achieve a virtually identical look without effort. So who's this really for? Rich kids who go for the same style but wanna feel better about it? Looks 68, 70, 73 annd 75 are particularly funny, cause if you're Eastern European you know that this is how most men of all ages have been dressing like for the past 20 years, and they all definitely prefer to buy the more expensive and recognisable activewear brands as a sort of status symbol but those prices are still fairly accessible and it's a whole different thing. Anyone who's remotely fashiony does know to avoid the look like the plague cause it'd be embarrassing to be caught in that in public. So is it all satire, is it truly philosophical? To what end? It's kind of fascinating. But at the same time alarming because aspiring designers do get influenced by his work, local peers from my fashion uni have received a lot of recognition from building their initial branding in this direction. Young people eat this sh*t up. Hell, I see myself in look 18. But a global luxury brand selling the street aesthetic of the low to middle class... it's not new. He's been doing this for a long time now. But just how does it work out in the end? I can't connect the dots.

Horrid collection anyways
