BALENCIAGA

Founded by Spaniard Cristóbal Balenciaga in 1917 and established in Paris in 1937, the original house of Balenciaga defined modern haute couture with its many innovations in form and technique. Since he was appointed Artistic Director in 2015, Demna has continued to champion Balenciaga's vision through boundary-pushing collections, which have expanded to include men's and women's apparel, accessories and objets d'art. The brand's first interactions with the digital realm lead it to its current expansion, with the development of materials and current social responsibilities, keeping it as the vanguard of modernity. In 2021, Demna designed Balenciaga's 50th couture collection, the house's first since its founder retired in 1968, reintroducing a standard of avant-garde elegance.
