Balenciaga supports young talent through a new creative program realized in partnership with 0-93. Lab. 0-93. Lab is a non-profit initiative founded by Bastien J. Laurent and Christopher Lila that helps open doors to careers in fashion and visual arts for young people in Greater Paris. Co-designed by 0-93. Lab and volunteers from Balenciaga’s Studio and Atelier teams, the Avenir Program featured six hands-on workshops held at both Balenciaga’s Paris offices and 0-93. Lab’s new space in Aulnay-sous-Bois, recently renovated with the support of Kering. From mood boards to prototypes, seven creatives aged 18 to 25 explored draping, printing, pattern-making, and fabric cutting using vintage pieces. The program concluded with a presentation at Balenciaga’s Couture Salon at 12 Avenue George V, where the creatives revealed their final silhouettes and received a certification from the House to support their career development. “The young talents demonstrated remarkable curiosity, artistic sensitivity, and the ability to create projects with authentic identities,” said Ken, Balenciaga Senior Print Designer and program volunteer. “Supporting them in developing personalized textile prints and guiding their creative process was incredibly rewarding.” Balenciaga is proud to support initiatives that empower rising talent and help shape a more inclusive, creative future for fashion.

In loving memory of Danielle Slavik. Few figures have left as lasting an impression on Balenciaga as Danielle Slavik, model for Cristóbal Balenciaga from 1964 to 1968 and close friend of the House. Danielle was meant to walk in our 54th Couture Collection last week. Danielle first returned to Balenciaga in 2022 for the 51st Couture show, connecting past and present with her enduring elegance. She was known for her kindness and the warmth she shared with everyone, especially the Couture atelier, with whom she remained close until her last days. We extend our condolences to her family and loved ones. Danielle’s legacy will forever remain a part of Balenciaga’s history.
