The luxury fashion house Balenciaga was founded by Spanish designer, Cristóbal Balenciaga in 1919. How crazy is it, that we had designer houses founded almost a hundred years ago?! These are the times I feel like we really live in a crazy world!

After Balenciaga opened his first boutique in Paris in 1937, he started becoming a sought-after designer. His silhouettes were very different from the beauty ideals of the era, considering he was one of the biggest competitors of Christian Dior, whose feminine designs were best-sellers at the time.

Balenciaga was the mentor of many big names in the industry, we are talking about people like Oscar de la Renta, Emanuel Ungaro, and Hubert de Givenchy.
