It's this same desire for exploration and thirst for mutual contamination which has continuously underpinned The Hacker Project – a collaboration of mind, body and creative soul between luxury fashion Houses Gucci and Balenciaga. Right: GUCCI single-breasted velvet jacket, fine cotton poplin shirt, stretch velvet flared pant and The Hacker Project Choker with Balenciaga script. Left: GUCCI single-breasted velvet jacket, fine cotton poplin shirt, stretch velvet flared pant and women's The Hacker Project pump. Merging thought and insight taking what we know to be true and then subverting it. Towards authenticity, a refreshed understanding of tradition. Stagnation is the enemy and this pair are moving fast. United through an innate desire to explore.
Somehow, their paths led them here – together. Hailing from two seperate worlds, two seperate identities. Get your favourites while you still can.An unlikely duo: Albian and Honor. And, as with either brands’ propensity for hype, you know the ‘Out-of-Stock’ tab will make its appearance very, very soon. Some go for the most straightforward approach, with Balenciaga’s brand printed over GG monogram over Gucci’s beloved Marmont bag sliced in between charm pendants with Gucci’s ‘G’ replacing Balenciaga’s ‘G’. Gucci’s most classic light beige GG monogram is now a BB monogram screened upon puffer gilets and hats, while Balenciaga’s most recognisable silhouettes - the Knife pumps the Hourglass blazer (as styled on Hong Kong superstar Sammi Cheng) the City bag the Triple S sneakers - take on Gucci skins. ‘The Hacker Project’ is a collaboration that winks at tongue-in-cheek, IYKYK spin-offs, with no-brainer designs that would prompt “Ahh!” responses if you’re familiar with either brands’ headlining signatures.
