Cristobal Balenciaga started his Parisian couture house back in 1918, and his dramatic, sculptural silhouettes would go on to influence the next century of fashion. Today, with Demna Gvasalia at the helm and turning the label’s sights on ‘high-fashion normcore’, the Balenciaga aesthetic still remains steadily true to its founder’s architectural shapes, exquisite tailoring and impeccable craftsmanship.
