About Us

Founded by Cristóbal Balenciaga in Spain in 1917 and moved to Paris in 1937, the House of Balenciaga redefined modern haute couture through its many innovations in shape and technique.

Today, the House continues to embody its founder’s vision through daring collections, including women’s and men’s prêt-à-porter, accessories, as well as art pieces. Its unprecedented commitment to digital technology, social and environmental responsibility, as well as its innovation in material research keep the brand at the forefront of modernity. In 2021, Balenciaga's 50th couture collection, the first since the founder’s departure in 1968, re-established the benchmark for avant-garde elegance. From October 2015 to July 2025, Demna created men’s and women’s collections as Artistic Director. In July 2025, Pierpaolo Piccioli was appointed Creative Director of Balenciaga.
