The Christmas collection of Balenciaga Objects

In time for the Christmas holidays, Balenciaga presented its new Gift Guide in which lifestyle items appear for the first time. The selection obviously does not lack the irony that has always distinguished Gvasalia's work, represented in this case by the Triple S sneakers, the Hourglass Bag and a puffer that become figurines to hang on the Christmas tree, reflecting on the consumerist nature of the celebration.

There are also decorations for the tree, champagne glasses, sets of sheets, tablecloths and pillows, while the other categories of home textiles that bear the imaginary logo of "Balenciaga Hotel & Resorts" are a nod to luxury conglomerates, but also suggest a forthcoming arrival of the brand in the lifestyle field, as has already been done by other brands of the Kering group.

The collection will be divided into three drops: the table set is already available in store and online, the bedding set will instead arrive on December 2, while December 7 will be the turn of the handmade Christmas decorations.
