From Balenciaga’s F/W 2011 collection, this printed silk blazer exemplifies Nicolas Ghesquière’s visionary approach to balancing precision tailoring with painterly fantasy. The piece features an all-over botanical motif - a riot of surreal, hand-drawn flora entwined with twisting stems and mythical fauna - set against fluid ivory silk with a contrasting black satin lapel. Appearing on the runway, in campaign imagery, and across multiple editorials that season, the print became an instant visual signature of Ghesquière’s late-era Balenciaga: romantic, cerebral, and deeply modern. Cut in a relaxed, elongated silhouette with a hidden placket button down front, this piece moves between pyjama-ease and sophistication - a quiet demonstration of Ghesquière’s ability to fuse softness and structure with poetic clarity. A collectible work from one of the most revered chapters in Balenciaga’s modern history. Made in France.
