The Fall 2025 season of Paris Fashion Week rages on, with tonight granting us the Balenciaga Fall 2025 collection from Demna. The Georgian designer has been the creative force behind Balenciaga since 2015 (succeeding Alexander Wang), and renewed his contract (for an unspecified time) with the Kering-owned fashion house in October 2024. This season, Demna set his latest showcase to a soundtrack of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. Models emerged from backstage and stormed down a lengthy black runway, decked out in an array of buzz-worthy looks. Demna served up everything from floor-length hoodies and officecore looks to bathrobes and sportswear-inspired looks (giving us our first glimpse at the Balenciaga x Puma collab).

“Wow. I don’t like it at all. Repetitive, not memorable. First years were much better, but now… back then even if you don’t like the aesthetic, there were hit products. Now it’s just… generic to me.” [RosesAreRed]

“I would have walked out after the first 3 outfits. What a waste of time. He didn’t even bother with theatrics this time.” [Avonlea]

“God it was so bad! Literally nothing original.” [Simera]

“The packable puffers and the Puma tracksuits was the most pedestrian proposition I’ve ever seen on the runway. This wasn’t like The Row where they’re showing basics styled in an interesting way; it was a Dick’s Sporting Goods catalog at best.” [ecnerretneerg]

“This feels like a step backwards after last season’s flirtations with boudoir fetish. I’m sure that upon close inspection things aren’t exactly what they ‘seam’ but as a spectacle, especially watching from a screen, it feels drab and dour.” [Delleone]

“Maybe the worst Balenciaga collection from the last twenty years, and that includes Alexander Wang’s tenure.” [Monsieur Cristobal]

“This reaaaallly feels like a swan song…” [justpassingthrough]
