Hourglass wool-blend coat
product details
Cristóbal Balenciaga's sharply sculpted Hourglass coat will always be a fashion classic, and we think that Demna Gvasalia has done a fine job of updating it for the modern woman. Impeccably constructed in Italy from wool blend, the double-breasted design works an all-black colorway with coordinating logo buttons, and – most crucially – padded hips and shoulders that work to create an enviable silhouette.

Balenciaga Hourglass wool-blend coat
Balenciaga's architectural vision is captured in the iconic Hourglass coat. This piece reinterprets traditional tailoring with its signature curved waist and strong shoulders. Crafted from a refined wool blend, it offers structure and warmth, making it a definitive statement for any curated wardrobe.
The art of the detail
Presented in a classic black color, this coat showcases meticulous construction. The double-breasted profile is secured with a buttoned front, leading to sharp peak lapels that accentuate the powerful silhouette. The design is shaped from a dense wool fabric that holds its structure while providing a smooth feel, ensuring a polished appearance. The long sleeves are finished with refined buttoned cuffs, adding a final touch of tailored precision to this enduring design. It embodies a modern approach to classic outerwear forms.
How to wear
Cinch this coat over a crisp poplin shirt and wide-leg trousers, complemented by sleek ankle boots for a commanding daytime presence in professional settings. For elevated evening engagements, style it as the final layer over a fluid midi dress, adding sharp pumps and a compact shoulder bag to create a sophisticated ensemble. Its defined shape and versatile black hue make it an anchor piece that moves effortlessly from executive boardrooms to exclusive gallery openings, consistently projecting an air of confidence and modern refinement through its structured form.
