Feminine daytime silhouettes play it safe, while drawing inspiration from the house’s savoir-faire. Examples include the shearling inspired by the 1951 Semi-Fitted line, and the fleece hooded sweatshirt, whose volume evokes the 1967 Balenciaga wedding dress. The pieces are simple and minimalist. Coats remain classics: sometimes in faux fur, sometimes trench-like, an essential basic in Demna’s Balenciaga wardrobe.
For men, sportswear reigns supreme. Grey fleece jogging suits are upgraded with faux fur hoodies, while tracksuits are back in style… thanks in particular to a long-awaited collaboration (teased a few hours earlier on Instagram) with Puma. The future hit? The Speedcat sneakers, of course, reinterpreted with a stripped-down aesthetic, as if they had already been worn in the field.

Another notable collaboration with Alpinestars gave birth to a series of gloves inspired by the SMX-2 and Morph models, embellished with piercings. How do you stand out from the crowd in an age when everything is increasingly smooth? How do you assert your uniqueness? As for jewellery, the models wore necklaces representing their astrological sign, a way of asserting their identity even further. The watch bracelets, meanwhile, imitated a watch without telling the time. A final warning from Demna: don’t be fooled by appearances!
