Balenciaga is a Spanish luxury fashion house founded by Cristóbal Balenciaga in 1917 in San Sebastián, Spain. The house moved to Paris in 1937, opening its couture atelier at 10 Avenue George V, where it became synonymous with technical precision, sculptural silhouettes, and avant-garde design that shaped mid-century fashion. Signature creations include the Sack dress in 1957, the first fragrance Le Dix in 1947, and the modern Le City bag launched in the early 2000s. Christian Dior called Cristóbal Balenciaga "the master of us all," cementing his status as one of fashion's most influential designers.
The brand closed in 1968 following the founder's retirement, then was revived in 1986 under new ownership. Balenciaga joined the Kering group in 2001 and returned to haute couture in 2021 after a 53-year absence, reaffirming its place at the forefront of luxury fashion. Each poster in this collection honours the house's legacy of innovation, from its Spanish origins to its ongoing evolution in Paris, capturing the vision that redefined twentieth-century couture and continues to shape contemporary design today.
