Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquière SS2008 Metallic Jacquard Mini Dress – Pink

Size S (please refer to measurements)

A rare Balenciaga mini dress from the Spring/Summer 2008 collection by Nicolas Ghesquière, one of the most celebrated creative periods in the house’s modern history. Famously worn by Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, this piece has become an iconic example of late-2000s Balenciaga and remains highly sought after by collectors.

Crafted from a richly textured metallic jacquard, the fabric combines luminous shades of blush pink, rose gold, and champagne, woven into an abstract floral motif that shifts beautifully with movement and light. The surface possesses an almost liquid quality, balancing structure and luminosity in a way that became a hallmark of Ghesquière’s work during this era.

The silhouette is clean and architectural, featuring a sleeveless cut, bateau neckline, and softly flared A-line shape. Deliberately minimal in construction, the dress allows the extraordinary textile to take center stage while maintaining the refined proportions and modern femininity that defined Balenciaga under Ghesquière.

Both glamorous and sculptural, the piece captures the optimistic energy of late-2000s fashion while remaining remarkably contemporary. Its association with Sex and the City further cemented its status as one of the standout dresses of the period.

A true archival collector’s piece from one of the most influential chapters in Balenciaga’s history.
