Balenciaga is a French fashion house founded by Cristóbal Balenciaga, a Spanish designer, born in the Basque Country, Spain. He had a reputation as a couturier of uncompromising standards, once referred to as “the master of us all” by Christian Dior. His bubble skirts and feminine, yet ultra-modern shapes were trademarks of the house.

The House of Balenciaga is now owned by the French multinational company Kering, with Alexander Wang as their current creative director. Wang “reinvents and immortalizes” the brand’s codes through his own sporty, modern lens.
