Gucci × Balenciaga The Hacker Project GG Canvas Blazer with Leather Trim, Beige and Ebony, Size 44

From the Gucci and Balenciaga Hacker Project: a sharply shouldered single-breasted blazer in GG canvas, edged and pocketed in tan leather, in near-new condition, size 44.

The Piece

In April 2021, for Gucci’s centenary collection Aria, Alessandro Michele did something no luxury house had done before: he ‘hacked’ another brand. Balenciaga’s Demna lent his silhouettes, and Gucci reworked them in its own codes, most memorably the beige and ebony GG canvas of its luggage. The Hacker Project pieces became instant collector items, the moment two of fashion’s biggest names shared a single garment.

This blazer is one of the defining shapes of the project. It is cut from GG canvas in cotton and polyester, with the strong, squared shoulder and slim hourglass waist of Balenciaga tailoring. Tan leather pipes the notched lapels and front edges, covers the welt pockets and banks the cuffs like the trim on a Gucci suitcase. It closes with a single dark horn-effect button and is lined in tobacco rayon twill. The glittering silver Gucci label, made in Italy, sits at the neck.

Tagged 44 and cut close, it measures 36 cm across the shoulder and 47 cm across the chest, so it suits a slim frame or a women’s Italian 44.

Worn over a white shirt or a fine black knit, it brings the full force of the collaboration into a single, wearable shape. Because the Hacker Project pieces were produced for a single season, examples in this condition are increasingly scarce. Graded near new in Japan, the canvas is crisp and the leather unmarked: a museum-ready example of a landmark collaboration.
