BALENCIAGA X MANOLO BLAHNIK

Balenciaga and Manolo Blahnik, two houses deeply rooted in the history of luxury, come together for their first collaboration, revealed as part of the Fall 2026 collection.
The project marks a significant moment for Balenciaga under the direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli and highlights the shared heritage of both brands, each influenced by Spanish roots and a strong commitment to craftsmanship.
The capsule focuses on footwear silhouettes that merge Blahnik’s refinement with Balenciaga’s contemporary vision.

The line features three satin footwear designs, including a low heeled mule and slingback styles offered in two heel heights.
Each model is cut to reveal the instep and finished with crystal embroidery that echoes both Manolo Blahnik’s jewel like aesthetic and the couture spirit of Cristóbal Balenciaga’s creations from the 1960s.
The colour palette ranges from black to emerald green, with all styles lined in Balenciaga’s signature grey, giving the collection a refined yet modern presence.

These shoes are also integrated into the wider Fall 2026 collection, where they are styled with fluid garments and sport inspired silhouettes.
By bringing together the savoir faire of an iconic shoemaker and Balenciaga’s bold approach to design, the project creates a dialogue between tradition and modernity, offering a renewed vision of elegance in contemporary fashion.
