Balenciaga

Founded in 1919 by Cristóbal Balenciaga in San Sebastián, Balenciaga revolutionized couture with architectural silhouettes and immaculate construction. After a period of dormancy, the house was reborn under Nicolas Ghesquière in 1997 and later under Demna Gvasalia, each infusing new energy while honoring its legacy of innovation. Today, Balenciaga sits at the intersection of avant‑garde and streetwear—renowned for its oversized outerwear, deconstructed tailoring, and iconic accessories like the Triple S sneaker and Hourglass bag. Every collection challenges conventions, blending uncompromising craftsmanship with bold, forward‑thinking design.
