Balenciaga S/S 2025 Paris

I was excited at the beginning, thinking, 'Omg, he’s going to give us sexy,' but then it stopped, and we went back to the usual... But why, though? Seeing him extend his ideas on fabrics like lace would have been interesting at least, just saying...
 
Same shtick, different season. The sooner Balenciaga and Demna part ways the better. Absolutely cannot wait to move on from this monstrosity of a direction. This whole streetwear aesthetic for Balenciaga feels beyond tired, dated and overplayed in 2024.
they really need to give the job to Tisci!
 
The term is "pantashoes", but yes. That's another Margiela-ism BTW.
So I checked their website and they have "pantashoes", "pantabodysuit", and "pantaleggings", but in fact they already have some of those in lace or hosiery trompe-l'oeil for fall 24, so even the lingerie thing is not a new idea.
 
The problem with this is that it's Balenciaga - if it was a denim brand trying to be more edgy it would be ok. What he got right is making low-rise jeans work - at least proportion-wise - by keeping them wide (low AND skinny is just humiliating, not even Mica Argañaraz managed to fully pull them off last season at Miu Miu) and pairing them with some volume on top. I also rather like what I see of those chunky leather slides/sandals. Overall, I blame Kering more than him for letting such a historic house become somewhat of a running gag.
 
Sick of this Kanye-lite aesthetic. Can we leave it in the 2010s?
