Balenciaga S/S 2025 Paris

[PDFSD]

Of course, this is all true what you’re saying. But also please remember that there was no forums like this, there was no internet for just about anyone to trash him. He for sure never received the applause he deserved - and if you really were a buyer at the time, dont you remember that his company almost went out of business many times over?? It was a struggle! Why do you think he sold it in the end to creepy Diesel people?!?

many brands struggled many times margiela was a small brand for in crowd people in the know galerist people in art worn it etc you did not want people to know what margiela was but those that knew knew what is stood for. etc

sounds all cringe now but that was the way back them people where more discreet it was more naive in away.

fashion was cultist and margiela was a even smaller cult

that's way peobe and all these people tap into it because i stood for intellectual and anarchist punk but in very european calvinist way of not showing off but you did more discreetly to those that know.

its ok i just had different upbringing with wearing margiela to college etc and who wore it around me ..it was not odd to have a proffero have a margiela knit it was not odd or see a architect in his sneaker on the weekend similar to prada it was code for certain circles .

i loved the brand so much back then had so many pieces , i would not wear it today though it lost all its allure since bought by diesel i stopped

What's the tea on stylenotcom not being invited to the show? It's the only A-list show he does not cover...
Some beef like Dolce & Gabbana with Anna Dello Russo and Giovanna Battaglia?

 

[miumeow]

Can see he's caught up with the baby shrunken tee trend. Also I guess that's what Romeo has been working so hard on after quitting football LOL

What beef?

 

[FashionPower]

What beef?

They are both banned from any Dolce event.
They have not attended a single Dolce show since 2017...
Funny cause Giovanna was their muse model and Anna was one of their most loyal friends.

Great set and music, shame it’s wasted on this and the casting.

It’s all just embarrassingly corny now. It’s veered into caricature of a caricature, a student with their head stuck so far up its own **** all it sees is its own bullsh*t with their peons eating it up too without giving any decent criticism or feedback. Like what’s the point? Design wise it’s hardly even doing anything or pushing anything. All surplus to Demna’s own existence of wanting to be liked and viewed as the best. No wonder the brothers ram heads, their poseur egos are that similar they’ll always be in competition.

Ah well… it’ll court those that lap it up and it’ll get the same critiques and accolades like all other collections have been getting for the last few years of seasons. One giant mobius strip with the same feed back loop. How depressing.

Same old garbage from Demna Balenciaga needs exorcism

 

[TianCouture]

Vogue's landing page blurb about Demna embracing his inner child has me SCREAMING

What a s*** collection. At some point this has to stop, right?

 

[Royal-Galliano]

Why do we exist in a world where this vision of Balenciaga is tolerated…especially by luxury consumers?

can you define luxury consumers? as long as there are people who are willing to pay crazy amounts on this nonsense and planet polluting crap in order to feel exclusive and cool, it will work for balenciaga. i actually still think it's genius. no sugarcoating, no high craftsmanship, just blatant money-mining.

they need britney to do the campaign for this collection.

They can just use this as the campaign image:

Easy, shocking and cheap.

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

I don't see design at this house for ages

 

[reese06]

I don't see design at this house for ages

The same can be said for Celine, yet this board creams themselves and ask for Hedi’s appointment at Chanel

So tired of people trashing Demna’s Balenciaga, and yes he copies a lot from Margiela, no discussion there. But I’m also old enough to remember that people and press HATED Margiela’s collections when he showed, same reasons - its not luxurious, its half destroyed blah blah blah…

Here's the distinction: Martin Margiela was original. Martin Margiela was inventive. Martin Margiela was doing something new. Demna Gvasalia is not original. Demna Gvasalia is copying. Demna Gvasalia is just recycling someone else's ideas over and over again. That's why he's the target of so much vitriol.

What’s more annoying for me regarding Demna is that he was there after Martin left and so he has created that lineage and kidnapped his heritage whereas people like Lutz and Filippo aren’t milking what in essence, they helped create.

Dare I say some of the looks reminded me of Bianca Censori. Looks 6-15 and 51-55 were fine. The whole collection could have just been those looks and I'd be satisfied. I kinda miss when he would actively experiment with color in his clothing like his early collections. But then the menswear came in and it became heavy and annoying. City gays have been on the 2000s shrunken polo trend for a while that it's tiring, Romeo Beckham looked great though.

The soundtrack, if we examine at the lyrics of the two chosen songs, might be telling of his emotions at the moment. sidenote: I don't think Balenciaga has used other artists' songs since the Spring 2018 show? Even if it was a bfrnd remix of "gimme more", at least it wasn't a original song.

 

[jeanclaude]

He is so lazy that he even does not care to look for new ways of trolling us...

At least poor Britney takes her pills...Demna, you should do the same!

If you work for a genius, it does not make you automatically a genius, as proven by Lutz or Filippo…

Stylenotcom is such a joke. Why would anyone invite him ever in the first place??! Sucks up to everyone, no real opinions. What a joke..
