 "...The tailored streetwear, sans Gsvalia's, worn and dirty looking rave styles, and exaggerated silhouettes, to which Picciol has offered a respectful homage to the Georgian designer with his latest collection, who has now morphed across to Gucci, and ironically, has toned down the said trademark looks, honed while being with Balenciaga for almost a decade. 

So, there is no doubt that Picciol is imprinting his own Balenciaga hybrid onto the fashion world, with sales for Kering, the holding company of Balenciaga, slightly improving in 2026 from its 2024 and 2025 slump, following the brand reset and shifting of creative directors.  And Picciol's, as mentioned, sleek, structurally definitive styles, has become the newer reflection for Balenciaga, and it appears Picciol is up for the challenge."
