Balenciaga’s Hourglass Avenue Has Curves, Secrets and a Famous Address

The Balenciaga Hourglass Avenue bag looks perfectly at home beside a tangle of headphone cables. For its latest campaign, Balenciaga enlisted artist duo Hart Lëshkina to photograph and film Pierpaolo Piccioli’s design among vintage stereos, electric guitars and stacks of magazines. Maddi Waterhouse joins the cast, giving the softer take on the familiar curved bag an appropriately informal introduction. The mood is personal, a little nostalgic and refreshingly unconcerned with keeping a luxury accessory on a pedestal.

Balenciaga Resort 2027 Makes Hybrid Dressing The Main Event

Techno taffeta, cotton poplin, glove weight napa leather, adjustable drawstrings, and ribbon ties create garments that sit around the body rather than forcing the body into one fixed shape. For a house built on volume, this is the smart version of big clothing. It is not oversized for the sake of drama. It is fit without the old rules.
