WOMEN'S SPRING
SUMMER 2025 COLLECTION
BALMAIN SPRING SUMMER 2025
The Balmain Spring-Summer 2025 fashion show draws its inspiration from the codes, themes, and now-iconic styles of the 21st century, while also showcasing the fundamental pieces of Olivier Rousteing's work, initiated 13 years ago.
"We’ve kept this collection extremely focused, with the goal of ensuring that every design is immediately recognizable as containing key strands of the DNA of today’s modern Balmain."

Relying on the savoir-faire of our atelier’s artisans, we’ve further evolved the precision cuts, structure and tailoring that have always set us apart—transforming signature powerful shoulders, further amplifying angular hips, offering clever twists on complementarily contrasting cropped jackets and skirts, and, by adding a deftly consolidated trouser-boot design, helping to guarantee an always-perfect silhouette for our pantalon super droit.
My enduring fascination with intricate embellishments is reflected in complex pearl patterns, pictures and portraits, with some of the impressive photo-realistic creations requiring hundreds of thousands of beads and weeks of expert embroidery.

The often-repeated combo of skinny leather pants and a DB jacket thrown over a simple tee or tank has been my go-to look for closing runways and meeting with the press for over a decade—and now it’s been adapted to form part of this season’s extensive daywear offerings.
Since this presentation concentrates on signatures, codes and icons of the modern house, it seems the perfect moment to introduce our latest bag, the Anthem.

Cinched with the same wide ceinture that I often turn to for that final finishing touch, the new collection of leather bags is inspired by the nipped-waist silhouette of Monsieur Balmain’s mid-century couture designs.
Many accessories and clothing designs channel the angular lines and graphic components of another classic design, the historic Balmain perfume bottle, which was first introduced by our founder in 1946 for his Vent Vert fragrance, and which was adapted for the new line of Balmain Beauty scents, Les Éternels.

There are several other designs that playfully reference the packaging, palette and powders of the house’s recently launched Balmain Beauty collection, including a final runway grouping, with a range of minimalist silk sheaths reflecting the multitude of tones within the Balmain Beauty palette. And it’s those last looks that spotlight what is, without any doubt, my favorite modern Balmain icon: the inspiring diversity of beauty that is constantly celebrated inside our inclusive Balmain Army.
