Balenciaga redefines the boundaries of performance fashion with its 2025 Skiwear Collection, a line that blurs the line between alpine functionality and urban cool. Captured through the lens of Aidan Zamiri, the campaign trades snow-capped peaks for the streets of Paris, showcasing high-performance gear in motion amid the pulse of daily city life.
While the pieces are engineered for the slopes—with thermoregulating fabrics, aerodynamic silhouettes, and advanced protection against the elements—the visuals suggest something deeper. Balenciaga’s message is clear: this is skiwear designed for everywhere. Whether braving a snowstorm or a morning commute, the collection’s fusion of utility and luxury fits effortlessly into modern routines.
Technical mastery anchors the collection. Reversible puffers, parkas, and zip-up jackets are crafted from water-repellent shells and enhanced with Aquazip® technology, ensuring both performance and polish. The offering extends beyond clothing to include limited-edition skis and snowboards, distinguished by a striking mirror-finish effect—a collaboration with renowned Italian artisans that reflects Balenciaga’s commitment to innovation and craft.
Footwear continues the bold aesthetic, featuring oversized silhouettes from the Dumbo and Alaska lines, balancing exaggerated form with practicality. Iconic Rodeo and Le City bags return, reimagined in shearling-lined calfskin and fleece-lined suede, merging warmth with sophistication.
By setting its technical apparel against an urban backdrop, Balenciaga challenges expectations of where luxury performance wear belongs. The 2025 Skiwear Collection celebrates adaptability, style, and the evolution of modern dressing—inviting wearers to embrace motion, wherever it takes them.
The full collection is available now, marking another daring step in Balenciaga’s ongoing dialogue between function, fashion, and the unexpected.
