About us
Cristóbal Balenciaga founded the House in 1917 in his native country, Spain. In 1937, he established the brand in Paris and designed his collections there until 1968. His ultra-modern forms became the signature of the House.
Christian Dior considered him " the master of us all " and Gabrielle Chanel as "the couturier of couturiers." Demna, artistic director since 2015, designs all of the men's and women's ready-to-wear and haute couture collections as well as the leather goods and accessories lines. Balenciaga now has over 4,000 employees and nearly 300 points of sale worldwide.
