On Thursday evening, rain poured over Shanghai’s Museum of Art Pudong, where Balenciaga showcased its Spring 2025 collection. Despite challenging conditions, the brand used black umbrellas to shield front-row attendees like Sophie Marceau and Michelle Yeoh, creating a cyberpunk atmosphere. The collection featured Demna’s signature new-age tailoring, with oversized blazers, bulky footwear, and accessories like shoe box clutches. Highlights included collaborations with AliPay and Under Armour, colorful evening gowns, and avant-garde creations, reaffirming Balenciaga’s resilience amidst past controversies.
