Balenciaga
Balenciaga, founded in 1917 by Spanish designer Cristóbal Balenciaga, is one of the most innovative and influential luxury fashion houses in history. After decades of shaping modern fashion, the house was revived in the late 20th century and became a force in contemporary style. Under creative directors like Nicolas Ghesquière and later Demna, Balenciaga evolved into a global trendsetter known for its fusion of avant-garde design, streetwear influence, bold proportions, and subversive luxury.
