"BALENCIAGA" 2022SS hourglass tailored wardrobe jacket

Since its founding, BALENCIAGA has continued to redefine the standards of fashion with sculptural forms and innovative cutting, and today, under Demna’s perspective, it combines the tension of street and couture. Here, we introduce a masterpiece with an hourglass silhouette that embodies the brand’s form-making philosophy.

This is a line that modernly redefines the concept of wardrobe.

What first draws you in is the design that clearly narrows the waist while naturally expanding the hip line below, creating a silhouette that, upon wearing, organizes the body's contours and completes a three-dimensional presence despite being a jacket.

Furthermore, from the shoulders to the chest, tension is created solely through patterning without relying on excessive decoration, and combined with the refined lapel roll, it balances maintaining the grammar of classic tailoring with the powerful presence characteristic of BALENCIAGA.

The front features a minimalist two-button design, and even without prominent details, the position of the waist and the curve of the front body function as part of the design, quietly drawing attention and highlighting the beauty of this piece.

The pockets are designed with flaps, ensuring practicality without disrupting the shaping around the waist, and the high level of tailoring craftsmanship allows the details to be understated yet effective.

The material appears to be a high-density wool gabardine with a firm yet draping quality, maintaining a three-dimensional line while being resistant to wrinkles, and its ability to retain contours even with daily wear is convincing as part of the WARDROBE line.

Regarding the fact that it is from the Spring/Summer 2022 collection, the code JP57 2022 02045 is clearly printed on the quality control tag, and since this four-digit year indicates the manufacturing year according to current protocols, it physically confirms that this piece was managed in 2022.

Additionally, the fact that the main label is styled as BALENCIAGA WARDROBE is also important, as it is a line-specific notation developed with Demna’s intention to redefine staples, reflecting a design philosophy aimed at long-term quality rather than trend-driven consumption.

This masterpiece is especially recommended for those who want to create their style through form rather than just arranging a black jacket, or for those who wish to wear elegance and strength simultaneously regardless of gender, and it can naturally become an item that you reach for when you want to elevate your everyday look.

Styling-wise, the most straightforward approach is to pair a simple shirt or a neat knit with slacks, making the waist and shoulder lines of this jacket the main focus, and when draped over a minimal dress or long skirt, it creates a contrast between straight lines and curves, leaving a beautiful impression of modernity.

Take this opportunity.
