Balenciaga and 0-93. Lab reaffirm their commitment to supporting emerging creative talent through the Avenir Program. For the second consecutive year, the program brought together six young creatives aged 18 to 25, selected by 0-93. Lab, for four workshops led by volunteers from Balenciaga's Atelier and hosted at 0-93. Lab's space in Aulnay-sous-Bois. Across the workshops, participants explored every stage of garment creation, from pattern-making and fabric cutting to prototyping, draping and sewing, while discovering techniques such as quilting. Guided by members of Balenciaga's Atelier, they developed their technical skills while bringing their creative ideas to life. The program created a space for exchange and transmission, where craftsmanship, creativity and perspectives were shared across generations. It will conclude with a presentation at Balenciaga, where the young creatives will unveil their final silhouettes and receive a certificate recognizing their participation and dedication. Through the Avenir Program, Balenciaga continues to foster the transmission of exceptional savoir-faire while encouraging the next generation of creative voices.

The 55th Balenciaga Couture Show marks Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli's first contribution to the House's couture lineage. Returning to the principles that define Balenciaga as a Maison de Couture, the collection embraces its axioms, anomalies and truths, placing the métier once again at the heart of the House's meaning. Garments move between austerity and exuberance as tailoring dissolves into flou, echoing Cristóbal Balenciaga's ideology through a distinctly contemporary vision. Three-dimensional body scans, concealed leather carapaces, neo-gazar, a reinterpretation of the textile invented by Cristóbal Balenciaga, and bioengineered AMSilk, a fossil fuel-free silk alternative inspired by the remarkable strength of spider silk, shape sculptural forms that pursue improbable lightness and reveal themselves in 360 degrees.
