Launching on November 15th, 2023, in stores worldwide and on balenciaga.com, the first ever Balenciaga Skiwear collection debuts a wide range of winter sport products in the form of technically advanced ready-to-wear, accessories, equipment, and gear.
Using innovative materials and techniques designed for visibility, insulation, aerodynamism, and protection, the collection evolves themes that have become Balenciaga signatures while introducing functional athletic objects—a snowboard, skis, a helmet, and poles for downhill, cross-skiing, or hiking—for the first time. The collection includes parkas and cargo pants in membrane-bonded technical ripstop with integrated snow gaiters, sophisticated ventilation systems, battery life-saving pockets, and ski pass holders. Jackets and vests in quilted matte nylon, as well as five-pocket ski pants in bonded stretch nylon and close-fitting fleece jackets echo the House’s classic silhouettes, including the Hourglass Jacket and the Puffer.
Outerwear is treated to be water-repellent, keeping the wearer warm and dry. Most pieces are available in black, grey, or red. Thermal layers, available in black, include hoodies and long-sleeved half-zip tops in heavy molleton, fluffy knits, fisherman- ribbed wool, and mink-style faux fur.
