Spanish haute couturier Cristòbal Balenciaga's innovative designs, known for their sculptural volumes and strict modernity, cemented his reputation as one of the 20th century's most legendary designers. Under the creative direction of Demna Gvasalia since 2015, the house of Balenciaga continues his tradition of experimentation. Polished fabrics, sleek forms, and a balance of tradition and futurism define its sophisticated aesthetic.
