This rare archival Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquière dress from the iconic Le Dix era Fall 2001 runway captures the sleek futurism and sensual minimalism that defined Ghesquière’s earliest and most collectible work at the house.
Crafted in a luxurious black stretch knit, the dress features the signature floral-inspired cut-out across the chest. The softly draped bodice contrasts with the figure-hugging, high-waisted bodycon skirt, sculpting a powerful, feminine silhouette with architectural precision.
Effortlessly elegant and bold, this piece moves beautifully with the body, balancing refinement with a daring edge.
