Balenciaga Shows Colourful Jackets and Minimalist Sneakers in Piccioli’s Summer 2027 Collection

Pierpaolo Piccioli reworks wardrobe staples with corseted shirts, lace sheaths and distressed jeans, framing couture as everyday clothing.

  • On Thursday, Balenciaga's Pierpaolo Piccioli presented the "Les Coraux de la Liberté" Summer 2027 collection at Paris Fashion Week, centered around a monumental textile sculpture by French artist Aude Franjou.
  • Piccioli joined Balenciaga in 2025 to reverse a sharp sales decline, succeeding Demna, who moved to Gucci; this show marks his third ready-to-wear collection for the brand.
  • Stitching techniques were "transposed from internal structures of tailoring," creating volume on everyday shirts and jackets while Piccioli emphasized "lightness and softness" to prioritize comfort and ease.
  • Notable guests including American actor Sarah Pidgeon, K-pop star Juyeon, and Anna Wintour attended the show, while footwear shifted from Demna's chunky sneakers toward minimalist sandals and the Lounge Sneaker.
  • Despite the collection's focus on "couture as culture," rumors persist regarding Piccioli's future at the house following tepid reviews for his haute couture debut earlier this year.
