Cristóbal Balenciaga founded the House in 1917 in his home of Spain.
In 1937, he established the brand in Paris, designing its collections there until 1968.
Cristóbal Balenciaga had a reputation as a couturier of uncompromising standards and was referred to as "the master of us all" by Christian Dior and as "The Couturier of the Couturiers" by Gabrielle Chanel.
The ultra-modern shapes were trademarks of the house.
While the brand's identity is firmly rooted in its highly conceptual prêt-à-porter collections, its leather goods, footwear, and accessories experience worldwide success as well.
Among the archetypal products of the House are its handbag collections.
A new focus on the development of Balenciaga ready-to-wear collections for men was quickly established as highly successful.
