“This collection is the result of a feeling.
We worked while getting to know each other, learning to understand one another.
We built our own language, full of new words and timeless ones.
We searched, we tried, we remembered.
This collection is the result of the work of the people in the atelier, human beings who are couture, because couture is made by the people who live it.
This note is to thank each and every one of them for their time, love, and commitment.
This is our collection, this is our work, this is Balenciaga Couture, now.”

Up close, the collection reveals its craft: neo-gazar, a contemporary reinterpretation of the material invented by Cristóbal Balenciaga, meets bioengineered AMSilk, a fossil fuel-free fibre inspired by the remarkable properties of spider silk, while dimensional feathers outline volume and footwear.

Couture made to be seen from every angle, the collection unfolds look by look, in an enduring dialogue between architecture and emotion.
