If you’re in Paris between now and July 9, Balenciaga by Demna is a must-see. Staged inside the stunning Laennec building Kering’s historic headquarters at 40 rue de Sèvres the exhibition is a rare, personal look back at Demna’s radical decade at the House (2015–2025).


Presented like a visual résumé, the show spans 30 collections and gathers 101 looks, objects, and accessories selected by Demna himself. Expect to see everything from dry-cleaner-hung hoodies and hyperreal mannequin sculptures to archival Cristóbal references and red-carpet reinventions. Each piece captures the signature codes that have defined his era: proportion play, ready-made provocations, upcycled tailoring, and the ongoing blurring of fashion and luxury.


Fifty of the exhibits include audio commentary narrated by Demna, offering intimate insight into his process and thinking. Art installations punctuate the space like a humanoid sculpture by Mark Jenkins reinterpreting Demna’s own closing look from Summer 2022, or kinetic shoe displays by Andrew J. Greene.


More than a retrospective, Balenciaga by Demna is a raw, cerebral, and often humorous reflection on what fashion has been and what it could be.


Open to the public by registration until July 9. Book your visit at: exposition.balenciaga.com
