Must-Have Bags And Accessories From Balenciaga For Spring Summer 2025
Your shopping guide to the must-have pieces from Balenciaga for the new fashion season
Demna's Balenciaga Spring Summer 25 collection is a fever dream of his design DNA, a fascinating, if jumbled, trip down memory lane. Drawing inspiration from his early design experiments, particularly his grandmother's influence, Demna creates a distinctly modern, even futuristic, Balenciaga. It's a hodgepodge, yes, but a deliberately curated one.
Demna takes familiar silhouettes – denim, evening wear, even lingerie – and throws them into a blender of innovation. The trompe-l'œil lingerie, seemingly seductive yet fully covered, is a perfect example of this playful subversion. It's a wink to the audience, a reminder that Demna is always playing with perception. The 3D-printed tube top is another highlight, showcasing the brand's commitment to pushing technological boundaries.
Streetwear's influence remains a core element, but it's not the streetwear we know. Jeans become intricate art pieces with lace-up detailing and attached shirts, transforming everyday garments into something almost couture-like.
Even the accessories feel like inside jokes, or perhaps coded messages. The Subway bag stuffed with a trench coat is both humorous and practical (in a very Balenciaga way). The Hoodie Hobo bag, a hybrid of two familiar forms, is another example of Demna's playful approach to design. It's as if he's saying, "Why choose one when you can have both?"
