The meaning of Balenciaga is a methodology. The process of creation as ideology, as identity, an expression of humanity and human invention. The dĂ©but collection by Pierpaolo Piccioli as Creative Director of Balenciaga commemorates this essential component of the Maison, and of the work of CristĂ²bal Balenciaga, bringing it into the present. Not homage, but recalibration.

Balenciaga’s creative practice placed humanity at the core of his approach. Aesthetic austerity, even severity, belies a physical lightness – a weightlessness, clothes conceived for and around a dynamic body. A crucial exchange exists between body and cloth, a shifting interrelationship. In precise gesture to his reasoning, here garments explore the space between fabric and form, the air between as a third dimension, a vital component of their construction.
