Anok Yai Leads Balenciaga's Shadowy Winter 2026 Campaign Inspired by Clair-Obscur

Balenciaga has unveiled its Winter 2026 campaign, bringing Pierpaolo Piccioli's exploration of light and darkness into a series of photographs by Robin Galiegue. Released August 27, the campaign stars Anok Yai, Dara Gueye and Liu Wen, with dramatic shadows shaping the presentation of the collection and its sculptural silhouettes.

The imagery continues the visual language established by Piccioli's Winter 2026 collection, titled "ClairObscur." The name refers to chiaroscuro, the artistic technique built around strong contrasts between light and shadow, making Galiegue's photography a fitting medium for exploring the collection's central idea.
