BALENCIAGA's 2027 summer series launched a total of 72 designs. Creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli started with pure white and ended with black and clear pink, reshaping the daily wardrobe in a more elegant and almost haute couture way.
French boutique Balenciaga (BALENCIAGA) just released its 2027 summer series at Paris Fashion Week on the evening of the 1st, Taiwan time. Creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli used an elegant and sophisticated style to subvert the strong street and subculture image of BALENCIAGA established by Demna in the past ten years. The 72 sets of new works reorganize the daily wardrobe in an almost haute couture manner. From shirts, jeans, T-shirts to flight jackets, etc., through three-dimensional tailoring, draping and reshaping of structural proportions, haute couture has become an everyday item and is no longer just an unreachable belief for fashion fans.
Pierpaolo Piccioli took "Les Coraux de la Liberté (Free Coral)" from the work of French artist Aude Franjou as the theme. Linen threads were used in the center of the show to create an organic structure like coral, echoing BALENCIAGA's thinking on craftsmanship, vitality and freedom.
The large-scale coral installation "Les Coraux de la Liberté" in the center of the show was handmade by French artist Aude Franjou using flax fiber. The branch-like structure echoes the symbiosis concept of freedom and life this season.
Pierpaolo Piccioli creates a new design chapter through an elegant perspective and reshapes the BALENCIAGA ready-to-wear series. As his third season of ready-to-wear works, this season opens with white, and 9 consecutive designs use pure colors to enlarge the silhouette of the clothing. The waisted white shirt outlines the hourglass proportions through exaggerated cuffs and curved hem. The long cape, floral embroidered top, feathers and mesh structure add rich visual layers between off-white and ivory white. Then camel was used as a transition, and highly saturated tones such as sapphire blue, pink, and orange were added as highlights. A large number of pure black shapes were used in the middle and back sections to highlight the material and tailoring. The last three sets were black, white, and pink in order to complete the color order, and a light and flowing pink dress ended the show.
The 2027 summer series kicks off with a pure white look, from waist-cinching shirts, long capes to floral lace tops, redrawing the brand's elegant silhouette through neat tailoring and three-dimensional structure.
The series transitions from pure white to camel and highly saturated colors, injecting a distinct and modern rhythm into the whole.
The three final sets ended in black, white, and pink in order, starting from neat suits and lace layers, to pure white long dresses, and then finishing with light pink tulle.
Pierpaolo Piccioli directly integrates haute couture techniques into fashion design, changing the relationship between shirts, jeans, suits and evening wear and the body through tailoring. He also applies sewing and structural techniques from the 55th season haute couture series to cotton and leather, giving familiar items a new volume and posture. Lace and hollows also escape from decoration and become part of the clothing structure, making the body looming. Inflatable organza flowers are stacked in an almost sculptural manner, bringing lightness and strong visual tension to the whole.
The opening nine sets of all-white looks are layered between off-white, ivory white and cream. Feathers, mesh structures and soft knitting are intertwined with each other, showing visual changes in rich textures within a single tone frame.
Pierpaolo Piccioli integrates haute couture vocabulary into daily clothing. Black lace, three-dimensional flowers, exaggerated shoulder lines and sculptural silhouettes appear in turn, turning evening wear craftsmanship into fashion.
Loose shirts and balloon-shaped trousers, as well as flowing hollow structures and three-dimensional decorations, present a feminine image that combines strength and softness.
