In the Dsquared2 2025 Early Autumn Collection, Dean and Dan Caten bring a fresh vitality to both menswear and womenswear by blending practicality with creativity through the brand’s signature perspective.

Creative Director Demna captured the raw form of the BALENCIAGA Fall/Winter 2025 Collection using an iPhone, showcasing images originally intended for internal finalization directly to the public. These photos, devoid of hairstyles, makeup, and runway staging, present the collection in its purest form.

This season's designs begin with minimalist evening gowns and Garde-Robe looks, gradually extending to conceptual everyday wear and mixed styles, constructing a broad aesthetic system from classic BALENCIAGA uniforms to sportswear-inspired couture. The core design revolves around two opposing dresses: a simple cocoon-shaped black knitted gown and a body-hugging white mini dress. This opposition extends to tailored pieces and deconstructed items, voluminous skirts and ultra-short mini skirts, creating a dialogue between minimalism and maximalism.

The emphasis on rigorous silhouettes stands out, with long dress suits made from pleated nylon, linen, and smooth twill fabrics, as well as a half-length coat inspired by the founder's 1951 designs, redefining modern elegance and classic style. Meanwhile, the Neo-Suits collection, crafted from workwear cotton, linen, and stone-washed flannel, gives everyday clothing a haute couture quality, with exaggerated "giant scarf" coats being a particularly experimental piece.

Bold mixing of styles runs through the entire collection, such as the hybrid track jackets with workwear-style fronts, fringed cocoon-shaped Western leather jackets, and laser-cut calfskin mesh football shirts. The collaboration with Automobili Lamborghini sees a racing-inspired design throughout, merging fashion and accessories to emphasize speed and power. Footwear strikes a balance between comfort and avant-garde design, ranging from high heels created in collaboration with BALENCIAGA I Scholl to velvet and calfskin slippers, as well as over-the-knee boots featuring an elastic knit upper combined with soft cushioned soles—each piece redefines the boundaries between function and aesthetics.

The BALENCIAGA 2025 Fall Collection, through its collision of minimalism and maximalism, and fusion of classic and futuristic elements, showcases the brand’s relentless spirit of exploration and pioneering design language. In the deep balance between comfort and aesthetics, it writes a new chapter in fashion.
