The Story behind Balenciaga

You may have heard of the brand Balenciaga, but it is not likely that you know its culture spirit. “A couturier must be: an architect for design, a sculptor for safe, a painter for color, a musician for harmony and philosopher for temperance”.This Spanish gifted fashion designer had a reputation as a couturier of uncompromising standards and was regarded as “the master of us all” by Christian Dior. This design house’s trademarks include bubble skirts, odd, feminine yet modern shapes. Firstly set up in Spain, Balenciaga was forced to move to Pairs because of the Spanish Civil War. Although in the romantic capital of Pairs, Balenciaga still has its deep Spanish link. For instance, his first runway show in 1937 featured designs heavily influenced by the Spanish Renaissance and won immediate success. During the Second World War, Balenciaga was noted for his “Square coat”, and the brand is also known for its tunic dress, the chemise dress, the high-waist baby doll dress, the cocoon coat, just to name a few. Of course, handbag is also a significant element of Balenciaga. Many of its carriers are Hollywood starlets. Everyone form Madonna to Lindsay Lohan has once carried a Balenciaga bag out on the town.
