Pierpaolo Piccioli opens a new chapter for Balenciaga, diving deeper into an exclusive collaboration with the NBA. His Fall/Winter 2026 collection uniquely redefines the concept of sportswear while inheriting the luxurious style that Cristóbal Balenciaga is known for.
This season's designs blend tailored cuts with refined athletic pieces, presenting an effortlessly chic everyday style. A diverse creative team—including actors, artists, musicians, and models—infuses the collection with energy, showcasing a fresh vibe at Balenciaga under Piccioli's direction.
This collaborative project not only showcases the brand's exploration of the future but also looks back at the history of high-end athletic style. The collection features cropped sports suits, knitted shorts, vibrant puffer jackets, and sheer jerseys, all harmoniously unified with bags and sporty accessories that sport the brand's logo, wrapped in understated neutral tones.
Balenciaga's Fall/Winter 2026 main line showcases an effortless elegance. The men's collection features relaxed double-breasted coats and uniquely textured suits, complemented by standout leather pieces. Meanwhile, the women's line contrasts glistening outerwear with fitted ensembles, adding embellished ball gowns and bold jewelry, all harmonized with collaborative footwear from Manolo Blahnik to paint a complete seasonal vision.
