Pierpaolo Piccioli has unveiled the Balenciaga Pre-Fall 2026 lookbook, introducing the Parisian house’s first-ever footwear collaboration with iconic shoemaker Manolo Blahnik. The partnership celebrates the Spanish heritage shared by both brands, bringing Blahnik’s legendary craftsmanship into Balenciaga’s avant-garde universe.

The collaboration features three elegant styles: low-heeled mules and slingbacks in 105mm and 50mm heels. A sensual décolleté, adorned with crystals, nods to Manolo Blahnik archives and the 1960s bijoux popularized by Cristóbal Balenciaga himself.

Each pair comes in multiple colorways and is fully lined in Balenciaga grey, offering restrained luxury with a modern edge.


The lookbook showcases Piccioli’s signature play on contrasts: flowing, ethereal gowns are paired with sporty silhouettes, while high heels are styled alongside high-end activewear. Balenciaga cleverly rewrites the rules—luxury meets sport, and heels become a staple of the contemporary woman’s wardrobe.
