Balenciaga reinvents the ‘fanclub’ concept with its Autumn 2025 collection

On 28 February 2025, Balenciaga presented its long-awaited ‘Fanclub’ series to the world, a proposal that not only celebrates the symbiotic relationship between the brand and its most prestigious ambassadors, but takes the idea of fandom and the cult of personality to a level of sophistication never seen before. This innovative collection, which has already caused a sensation on social media, features the unmistakable figures of Isabelle Huppert, Kim Kardashian, Michelle Yeoh, Nicole Kidman and PP Krit Amnuaydechkorn as the new faces that embody the essence of the maison.

The ‘Fanclub’ series, which can be seen in a series of images unveiled to the public, plays with a playful yet sublime concept, where Balenciaga’s ambassadors not only pose, but seem to embrace an aesthetic that blends art, nostalgia and contemporary pop culture. This collection, which is already part of the Fall 2025 collection, offers a contemporary take on fan club apparel, with a nod to vintage and the explosion of fan culture over the past few decades.

The ambassadors, immortalised in selfies that seem to capture the everyday in an image-saturated digital age, proudly wear the most iconic garments of the new line, which are characterised by an innovative design that fuses retro and avant-garde. The T-shirts, presented for the first time, feature the brand’s signature shrunken and squared cuts and are accompanied by a ribbed sleeveless T-shirt offered in a colour palette that encompasses classic shades of red, white, black and blue.

These garments, which evoke memories of classic fan club jerseys from the 80s and 90s, feature a signature printed on the back, mimicking an autograph made in permanent marker. This subtle yet deeply evocative feature harks back to the fervour of fans who collected personal memorabilia of their idols, creating an emotional connection with the brand and its ambassadors. Each T-shirt becomes an object of desire, a unique piece that speaks not only of luxury, but of the closeness between fan and star, a reflection of cultural heritage and contemporary nostalgia.

‘Fanclub’ is not just a collection of clothes, it is a statement of intent. Balenciaga has once again succeeded in challenging the conventions of fashion and luxury culture, taking the concept of ‘fandom’ into sophisticated territory, full of art, emotion and authenticity. This series not only celebrates its ambassadors, but establishes a new visual language in which art, consumption and digital culture are seamlessly intertwined, showing that love for a brand or cultural icon can be much more than simple admiration: it can be an act of belonging, a unique expression of identity.

With the launch of ‘Fanclub’, Balenciaga has cemented its place as one of the most visionary and challenging brands on the fashion scene today. Uniting the nostalgia of the past with the trends of the future, the collection is not only a testament to its ability to reinvent itself, but also irrefutable proof of its mastery of the codes of contemporary culture. This series will undoubtedly become a benchmark for fashion, art and culture in the 21st century.
