Balenciaga

Tracks sneakers, Hourglass bag, Square Knife leather pumps, City tote bag, Neo Classic wallet... Balenciaga's best-sellers for women are trendy and iconic. Founded in 1917 by Cristobal Balenciaga, the house of the same name is known worldwide for its avant-garde pieces, which combine outstanding craftsmanship, originality and versatility. Called "the master of us all" by Christian Dior and recognized by Coco Chanel as the best couturier in the world, Cristobal Balenciaga infused all of his women's designs with a healthy dose of inventiveness and boldness. Renowned for his mastery of volumes, he stood out throughout his career by introducing signature silhouettes. So, when he closed the doors of his house in 1981, it was a huge disappointment for his customers, who couldn't really find women's garments that so brilliantly blended elegance, feminine style and at times ornate embellishments. In 1997, surprise, the label remerged with Nicolas Ghesquière at its head. This fashion prodigy quickly established himself as the worthy heir to the founding designer. For fifteen years, everything he did was a hit; he reworked the brand's codes and designed the future of the Balenciaga woman. He was followed by Alexander Wang for only three years, and later by Demna Gvasalia, the co-founder of the Vetements brand, at the end of 2015. Under his leadership, Balenciaga women's fashion takes a new turn. Revisiting the most iconic cuts of the label, he injected a clever streetwear vibe for an unprecedented and modern look that proved quite successful! Sneakers with XXL soles, oversized sweatshirts and cool leather goods called Wheel, Cash or Hourglass make up this futuristic wardrobe for both men and women.
