Balenciaga - Student (Fixed Term) (Trainee)
Paris - France
About us
Cristóbal Balenciaga founded the House in 1917 in his home of Spain. In 1937, he established the
brand in Paris, designing its collections there until 1968. Cristóbal Balenciaga had a reputation
as a couturier of uncompromising standards and was referred to as "the master of us all" by
Christian Dior and as “The Couturier of the Couturiers” by Gabrielle Chanel. The ultra-modern
shapes were trademarks of the house.
While the brand’s identity is firmly rooted in its highly conceptual prêt-à-porter collections, its
leather goods, footwear, and accessories experience worldwide success as well. Among the
archetypal products of the House are its handbag collections. A new focus on the development of
Balenciaga ready-to-wear collections for men was quickly established as highly successful.
Since October 2015, Demna has designed both men’s and women’s collections as the artistic
director.
The Balenciaga House, part of the Kering group since 2001, is one of the most influential names
in fashion.
