FUTURE RELIQUARY

Balenciaga’s Spring/Summer 25 is an artefact of the future, an esoteric study of form, function, and futurism. Demna’s latest offering is less a collection and more a relic unearthed from a dystopian dreamscape, where luxury is stripped back to its rawest, most evocative essence. Each piece carries the weight of a forgotten prophecy, whispering of a time when craftsmanship and conceptualism converge into something beyond fashion, an object of transcendence. In collaboration with LN-CC, this season’s vision is recast through a celestial prism, exploring weightless silhouettes, eerie textures, and an atmosphere charged with the otherworldly. Here, clothing dissolves into an ethereal presence, existing not as mere garments but as echoes of a distant, unknowable future.

The collection unfolds like a cosmic relic, with garments draped in a way that suggests both reverence and rebellion. Billowing silks hover like astral matter, engineered denim takes on a sculptural quality, and exaggerated tailoring becomes an armour of modern divinity. Luminous sheers and metallic embroideries catch the light as if woven from stardust, blurring the boundary between the corporeal and the cosmic.

Demna’s exploration of structure and rebellion takes on a new dimension in this ethereal setting. Footwear feels almost weightless, shaped into futuristic organic forms, while accessories, bold, oversized, and striking, resemble celestial artefacts, like antiques from a distant era yet to unfold.

In LN-CC’s visual interpretation, Balenciaga Spring/Summer 25 is neither bound by time nor gravity. Instead, it exists in a liminal dimension, a sacred space where fashion, art, and mythology converge. This is not just clothing; it is a future reliquary, a testament to the power of reinvention, the allure of the unknown, and the beauty of the infinite.
