FW25/26 marks BALKANICA’s first winter collection: a capsule that explores new textures without losing the symbolic thread that defines our identity. The collection emerges from the convergence of two textile traditions that—though distant in time and space—engage in a surprisingly harmonious dialogue: the textile art of the Huari civilization (6th–10th century AD) and the visionary aesthetics of the Bauhaus school (1920), particularly through its pioneering women.

Gunta Stölzl and Anni Albers, key figures in modern textile thought, found in pre Columbian tapestries—such as those of the Huari—a deep source of aesthetic knowledge. Their abstract compositions, bold color palettes, and symbolic weaves reinterpreted ancestral heritage through the lens of modernity.

In this capsule, alpaca fiber is introduced for the first time at BALKANICA. Handcrafted in Peruvian workshops, this ancient fiber embodies a connection to memory, origin, and tradition.
