Balenciaga

Christian Dior once referred to couturier Cristóbal Balenciaga as "the master of us all." Founded in 1917 in Bilbao, Spain, iconic designers who have worked for the house include Oscar de la Renta, André Courrèges, Emanuel Ungaro and Hubert de Givenchy. Since 2015, Georgian designer Demna Gvasalia has applied his irreverent streetwear sensibilities to Balenciaga's seasonal collections as creative director. This shift is visible across the brand's product catalog, from sneakers and apparel to bags and jewelry.
