From the Fall/Winter 2006 runway, this striking two-piece windowpane ensemble is a modern homage to the house’s 1960s couture heritage. A celebrated look from one of Ghesquière’s defining collections, this silhouette is also held in the permanent archive of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Rendered in graphic black wool with ivory windowpane check, the set features a balloon-sleeved mod-style jacket with a sculptural silhouette, discreet self-covered hidden button front, and two oversized ceramic dome buttons at the collar—a nod to vintage futurism. The matching pleated mini skirt is sharp yet playful, structured with a flattering peplum waist, side hook-and-eye zip closure, and subtle front pocket detailing.

Both pieces are fully lined, showcasing the impeccable construction Ghesquière brought to his minimalist reinterpretations of the Balenciaga archive. This ensemble exemplifies his philosophy of "less design, not more," where small architectural shifts redefine classic silhouettes with daring restraint.

A rare opportunity to own a piece of fashion history—collected by museums, revered by editors, and forever relevant.
