BALENCIAGA WOMEN

Founded in 1919 by Cristóbal Balenciaga, Balenciaga (as it is now known) was a key figure in twentieth-century fashion, celebrated for his boundary-pushing silhouettes and minimalist style. His lasting impact continues to shape the industry. As of July 10, 2025, Pierpaolo Piccioli has taken the helm as Creative Director, ushering in a new era for the House. He succeeds Demna Gvasalia, who led Balenciaga from 2015 to 2025 and infused the brand with dark minimalism and exaggerated forms. The brand's womenswear is defined by dramatic proportions and sculptural tailoring that shines a new light on the familiar.
