Demna Gvasalia’s tenure at Balenciaga has been a whirlwind of unconventional designs and viral moments. The Georgian creative director has consistently challenged the definition of luxury, pushing boundaries and cultivating a dedicated cult following. His Fall/Winter 2024 collection explored the interplay between reality and artificiality, with a sci-fi futuristic dystopian theme. Reconstructed hoodie dresses, elongated capes, and upcycled backpacks reinterpreted classic Balenciaga codes. The brand’s Cruise 2025 show, held on a Shanghai rooftop, showcased oversized tailoring, leather co-ords, and towering 18-centimeter platform boots.
For the upcoming Spring/Summer 2025 collection, expect more of Demna’s signature dramatic silhouettes and playful deconstruction. The show, set to unfold in Paris early tomorrow morning, promises a level of controlled chaos and underlying commentary on modern consumerism. With celebrity ambassadors Kim Kardashian, Michelle Yeoh, Nicole Kidman, and PP Krit Amnuaydechkorn in attendance, this collection is sure to be a spectacle. Tune in to the livestream at 1am Singapore Time and be among the first to witness Balenciaga’s latest offering.
