Summary
Cristóbal Balenciaga founded the House in 1917 in Spain. In 1937, he established the brand in Paris, designing collections there until 1968. Cristóbal Balenciaga was renowned as a couturier of uncompromising standards, called "the master of us all" by Christian Dior and "The Couturier of the Couturiers" by Gabrielle Chanel. The house is known for its ultra-modern shapes.
The brand’s identity is rooted in conceptual prêt-à-porter collections, with successful leather goods, footwear, and accessories, especially handbags. Recently, a focus on developing Balenciaga's menswear collections has been highly successful.
Since October 2015, Demna Gvasalia has been the artistic director for both men’s and women’s collections.
Part of the Kering group since 2001, Balenciaga remains one of the most influential names in fashion.
