DISCOVER BALENCIAGA’S WINTER CAMPAIGN
words by NATALIE GAL
Balenciaga has unveiled its Winter campaign, photographed by the iconic Juergen Teller. The imagery spotlights the house’s couture clientele, with appearances by industry legends like Nicole Kidman, Claudia Schiffer, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Arthur Chen.
True to the house, the collection blends high-glam couture with elevated streetwear. This season introduces pieces from the brand’s much-anticipated Puma collaboration, easily one of the most exciting collabs of the year. The video, directed by Teller also includes a special audio commentary, where he reflects on his process, approach and philosophy.
When it comes to the collection, fur is back! Though really, did it ever leave? The standout piece: a dramatic, Carrie Bradshaw-esque fur coat that might just take over winter wardrobes, stepping in for the long-reigning puffer jacket. (Though yes, there's still an oversized puffer in the mix, cinched at the waist for shape.)
Suede’s staying power is also clear this season. Balenciaga’s suede bags are among the highlights, simple, chic, and endlessly wearable. Key styles include the Rodeo Handbags, the iconic Le City Bag in new variations, and the spacious Carrie Carry-All Bag in sesame.
As always, Balenciaga’s signature oversized sunglasses return in fresh iterations. And one unexpected twist? Chunky, sporty gloves paired with sleek, elegant silhouettes, a perfect example of the house’s signature dichotomy.
