Summary
- Pierpaolo Piccioli presents his first collaborations for the House alongside the NBA and Manolo Blahnik.

- The campaign caputres actors, artists, musicians, and models on their daily commutes in Paris.
Pierpaolo Piccioli’s vision for Balenciaga continues to evolve with an elevated collaboration alongside the NBA. Reframing the language of sportswear, Piccioli Fall 2026 collection is a slam dunk, drawing on Cristóbal Balenciaga’s signature sense of luxurious ease.
This season, formal tailoring collides with refined athletic staples and ballroom-level extravagance, echoing the rhythm of everyday commuters. A diverse cast of creatives, including actors, artists, musicians, and models, brings the collection to life, cementing Balenciaga’s new chapter under Piccioli’s direction.
The designer’s first collaborative project for the House looks firmly toward the future while honoring the legacy of elevated sportswear. Cropped tracksuits, knitted hot pants, vibrant parkas, mesh jerseys, and leather varsity jackets sit alongside an array of branded bags and athletic accessories, all rendered in a restrained, neutral palette.
Balenciaga’s mainline Fall 2026 offering leans into laidback elegance. Menswear is defined by oversized double-breasted coats, textured suiting, and statement leather pieces. On the womenswear side, shimmering outerwear contrasts sharply with skin-tight co-ords, while bedazzled ballgowns, exaggerated jewelry, and a minimalist footwear collaboration with Manolo Blahnik complete the vision.
