BALENCIAGA

Balenciaga is most known for revolutionizing women’s fashion with never-before-seen shapes in the mid-20^th century, such as the “ballroom hems” of the early 1950s, the “semi-fit” lines of the mid-50s and the introduction of the “sack dress” in 1957.

Current Creative Director Demna Gvasalia has worked closely with the Balenciaga House archives to look at the original designs of Cristóbal Balenciaga to maintain artistic integrity in cut, shape and material.

Gvasalia and his predecessor Nicolas Ghesquière are widely credited for reviving the label from 1997 to the present.
