Free, fluid movement defined the visual language of the striking campaign.&nbsp;

Amid a cultural wave of nostalgia flooding Internet culture, fashion, and entertainment, Balenciaga dropped its latest campaign in line with the Fall/Winter 2026 season, which exhibits a similar urge to ponder style and time&mdash;but rather than looking back on the past few years, Balenciaga draws on its extensive archives from decades past, and simultaneously, looks to the future of fashion.&nbsp;
Featuring new faces to the Balenciaga world, the campaign includes a range of artists, actors, and models, like Alice Da Luz, Benjamin Voisin, Eliot Sumner, Juyeon, Keith Powers, Laufey, Luther Ford, Sarah Catherine Hook, Achol Kuir, Agel Akol, Bai Ruien, Bebe Parnell, Cirillo Giuseppe, Chloe Oh, Dana Smith, Douta Sidibe, Edoardo Duse, Elliot Belot, Haojie Qi, Kai Wijers, Malin Rudnick, Ned Sims, Rachel Marx, Saar Mansvelt Beck, Saga Nyholm, Saliou Gueye, Sen Samysheva, and Tariq Loo.
The campaign also illustrates creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli's continued interest in carving out a new emblematic Balenciaga woman. Since the very beginning of Crist&oacute;bal Balenciaga's foray into the fashion world, the house's core values have emphasized technology and innovation&mdash;a tenet Piccioli has taken to heart, and woven into every aspect of the Fall/Winter 2026 garments and accessories. Though the Fall/Winter 2026 certainly draws on the founder's signature sculptural elegance, it also incorporates a contemporary sporty flair, elevating each and every garment to new heights.

The campaign also featured pieces from two bold new collaborative ventures the maison explored this season: Manolo Blahnik and NBA, each of which embraces a different aesthetic side of the renowned label.&nbsp;
The Manolo Blahnik x Balenciaga and NBA x Balenciaga collections are now available to shop online and in select boutiques.&nbsp;
