In August 1937, Cristóbal Balenciaga opened his first Parisian couture house, transforming fashion through form and technique – from shifted waistlines to free, fluid silhouettes. Since Cristóbal's passing in 1972, his legacy and design codes have continued to define Balenciaga as we know and love it today.

Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli fuses inherent Balenciaga innovation and elegance with his own unique vision. The maison has evolved from the heartbeat of Paris to become one of the world’s most influential brands, boasting vast bags, ready-to-wear, and more.
