From Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2017, Look 25. A pivotal runway piece from Demna Gvasalia’s impactful first collection for the house, marking the beginning of Balenciaga’s modern era.
Rendered in a high-impact neon floral print, these second-skin stretch pants encapsulate the sharp tension of the season: hyper-feminine colour clashing with utilitarian precision. The silhouette is streamlined and architectural, sitting high on the waist with a clean elasticated waistband, while concealed ankle zips allow the leg to open and frame footwear or remain sharply tapered.
The print is unapologetically loud, graphic, and confrontational, a signature Demna move in his debut season. Seen styled on the runway with coordinated boots, this piece functions as both a standalone statement and a key component of the full Look 25 ensemble.
An archival Balenciaga moment that captures the exact pivot point where heritage couture met subversive modernity.
Made in Portugal. Boots not included.
