Balenciaga S/S 2025 Paris

[Alquimista]

He's such a nihilist ghoul. I detest him and what he did to fashion. And the gangsters who let him vandalize Balenciaga season after season. F#ck em all.

 

[Alquimista]

I don't understand him. Is he angry that he has to design clothes? What's his problem?

I was going to ask the same question. Does he hate himself or does he hate us? What compels someone to put this horror show together?

 

[tourbillions]

what did cristobal do to him that he needs to totally erase his legacy? Are no one in the suits worried about what will happen to the brand after all this circus? Once his schtick stops selling no one would respect balenciaga as an evening wear brand anymore. It will just become an expensive diesel and ill feel sorry for whoever replaces him and would have to pick up the pieces.

I would watch this 2000s pulp sci-fi movie. But as clothes for real life?

I think the lingerie looks are a trompe de l'œil effect printed on skin tone fabric (another Margiela-ism). If you look closely at the "skin", you'll notice that it creases like fabric.

Fabulous presentation for a terrible collection.

I think those are their pantaleggings, the shoes look incorporated too.

The term is "pantashoes", but yes. That's another Margiela-ism BTW.

Good set, good music. I loved the high catwalk as some of you also noticed.
It was painful to watch once the bomber jackets came in action though.

 

[Nimsay]

the only interesting pieces are the strapless tops with the seaming showing through the surface like a relief... thats all i got...

 

[GoldenPetals]

Dreadful.

 

[MModa]

Love it! Gimme more!

 

[jeremydante]

The fashion design caricature continues.
I want this to be over, all of it. Demna continues to muddy (literally and figuratively as we've seen from past show set designs) the legacy of Balenciaga in his tirade of an attempt to show how rebellious he is. Can't believe this has gone on this long, after all the amazing work that Ghesquiere did at this house, Cristobal would be ashamed to see what is being done with his house.

REAPPOINT. REAPPOINT!! REMOVE AND REAPPOINT!

Best thing about this show is the Britney remix for "Gimme More".

I got excited about the Frederick's of Hollywood start, like finally something new from them but then it went back to the same old.

Demna's clothes are ugly. Not jolie-laide, not cool-ugly, not nonconformist. No, they're just ugly. Actually, they're cheap ugly. They look like Kmart cast-offs, badly made in the sweatiest of sweatshops. And that's the point. And it's a pretty sickening one.

 

[avonlea002]

I just hope to never see his *** at the helm of a couture house again after they get rid of him.

Because it's cheap. Look at those clothes. They're clearly, as the British would say, cheap as chips to make. Most of the work is done in China from cheap materials. Bring them to Italy, do some machine embroidery, slap on that "Made in Italy" label, and sell it at an obscene mark-up. That tatty Balenciaga stuff has got to be ridiculously profitable — far, far moreso than Gucci, Bottega, or YSL. If Kering is letting that crap continue, there's only one reason: It's making money.

 

[youthinasia]

Oh man, to be in the same room when Demna thought putting the crotch of a pair of jeans around the neck as a genius idea.

And also, is that a rip-off of G-Star jeans on some of the men’s looks?
