Go Backstage at Balenciaga, Chanel, and More of the Fall 2025 Couture Shows

The fall 2025 couture season may turn out to be a quieter one without Christian Dior and Valentino on the schedule, but this week won’t be without its memorable moments. In a year full of designer debuts, couture will have its very own when Glenn Martens puts on his white lab coat for his first-ever collection as the creative director for Maison Margiela. And because you can t have a debut without having said goodbye to someone else, this season we will also get to see Demna’s final collection for Balenciaga before he sets up to Gucci’s Milan headquarters. Follow along as Acielle Tanbetova photographs the best behind-the-scenes moments from the fall 2025 couture shows.
