About the Brand
Balenciaga is a luxury fashion house founded in 1919 by the Spanish designer Cristóbal Balenciaga in San Sebastián. Known as "the master of us all" by Christian Dior, Balenciaga revolutionized women’s fashion with sculptural shapes and structural innovation.
Now based in Paris and owned by Kering, the brand has seen a massive resurgence under Demna Gvasalia. It currently leads the industry in luxury streetwear, oversized silhouettes, and high-fashion footwear like the Triple S and Speed Trainer.
