Couture meets speed in the collaboration between Balenciaga and Automobili Lamborghini, where ready-to-wear takes inspiration from supercar design
Balenciaga is renowned for its provocative and boundary-pushing styles—sometimes baffling customers and fashion mavens alike—so it’s no surprise that an unprecedented partnership like this one was in the works. While a collaboration with Lamborghini might seem peculiar at first glance, the fusion of their aesthetics works remarkably well.
Under the artistic direction of Demna, these high-octane designs seamlessly blend couture with supercar influences, immortalising Lamborghini’s automotive iconography and sleek lines in wearable art. This collection builds on Balenciaga’s ongoing exploration of streamlined, supercar-inspired aesthetics, evident in some of its most distinctive footwear and apparel.
Standout pieces of the collection include leather bombers, racing jackets, t-shirts, sweatpants, jewellery, travel mugs, and fresh iterations of Balenciaga’s iconic Rodeo and Hourglass bags reimagined with Lamborghini’s Shield emblem, leather luggage tags, and clochettes.
Although the full collection won’t hit stores until Spring 2025—available online and at select Balenciaga boutiques—an exclusive release offers a tantalising preview. On Monday, Balenciaga dropped a white, boxy long-sleeve t-shirt featuring the 2025 Lamborghini Temerario, a nod to the automaker’s second hybrid super sports car.
Limited to just 630 pieces worldwide, this exclusive release serves as both a teaser for the complete collection and an appetising treat to keep fans engaged while they await the full launch.
