That&#8217;s how we might sum up the Balenciaga by Demna exhibition, on show in Paris until <em>July 9, 2025<\/em>. This retrospective marks the end of a chapter in the House&#8217;s history that was as disruptive as it was significant.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">A decade of iconic silhouettes<\/h2>\n\n<p>Ten years after her debut at Balenciaga, <strong>Demna<\/strong> bids farewell to the label with an intimate, immersive exhibition. Installed on the Left Bank, in the house&#8217;s historic former headquarters &#8211; now owned by <strong>Kering<\/strong>, its parent group &#8211; this exhibition brings together <strong>some one hundred pieces<\/strong>, from the <strong>30 collections<\/strong> imagined between <em>2015 and 2025<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n<p>Clothing, accessories, shoes, <strong>invitations<\/strong>, <strong>personal pieces<\/strong> and even <strong>hyper-realistic sculptures<\/strong> punctuate the itinerary. All this is enriched by <strong>art installations<\/strong> conceived with artists from the <strong>Balenciaga Art in Stores<\/strong> program. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Immerse yourself in the Demna universe<\/h2>\n\n<p>Some creations are accompanied by a <strong>soundtrack recorded by the designer himself<\/strong>, offering a personal commentary on his approach, his inspirations and his often polemical approach to fashion.<\/p>\n\n<p>Demna left her mark on Balenciaga with a <strong>radical aesthetic<\/strong>, featuring <strong>exaggerated volumes<\/strong>, <strong>hijacked mainstream references<\/strong> and a <strong>bold return to haute couture<\/strong>, which the House had abandoned half a century earlier.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Demna, one last wink before Gucci<\/h2>\n\n<p>If this exhibition seems like a farewell, it&#8217;s also the prelude to a new chapter. In a few days&#8217; time, <strong>Demna will take over as Artistic Director of Gucci<\/strong>. Another brand in the Kering Group, which is seeking to reinvent itself after a slow period.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical info<\/h3>\n\n<p>\ud83d\uddd3 <strong>Dates<\/strong>: Until <strong>July 9, 2025<\/strong><br\/>\ud83d\udccd <strong>Address<\/strong>: 40 rue de S\u00e8vres, 75007 Paris<br\/>\ud83c\udf9f <strong>Access<\/strong>: <em>By registration only<\/em>, via the dedicated page (Balenciaga website)<br\/>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/exposition.balenciaga.com\/fr\/demna\">Book early<\/a> &#8211; the exhibition is limited in time and attracts fashion lovers from all over the world.<\/p>\n\n<p>Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/en\/2025\/06\/25\/cinema-paradiso-festival-4-magical-evenings-under-the-stars-at-the-louvre\/\">Cinema Paradiso Festival: 4 magical evenings under the stars at the Louvre<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A grand farewell.
