The Fall 2025 season of Paris Fashion Week is in full swing, and tonight, the spotlight shines on the highly anticipated Balenciaga Fall 2025 collection designed by the innovative Georgian designer, Demna. Since taking over the creative helm of Balenciaga in 2015, following Alexander Wang, Demna has continuously pushed the boundaries of fashion. In a significant move, he renewed his contract with the Kering-owned fashion house in October 2024, although the tenure details remain undisclosed. This evening’s show featured a captivating soundtrack with Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, setting a dramatic tone as models strutted down an elongated black runway, showcasing an eclectic mix of cutting-edge designs. From floor-length hoodies that redefine casual wear to sophisticated officecore outfits, alongside playful bathrobes and sporty ensembles, the collection also introduced the much-anticipated Balenciaga x Puma collaboration, leaving fashion enthusiasts buzzing with excitement.

“The worst runway walks I’ve ever seen…” [prylvi]
“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 were the most pedestrian proposition I’ve ever seen on the runway. This wasn’t like The Row where they’re showcasing basics styled in an interesting way; it felt more like 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]
