What is so great about Balenciaga?

1 Answer
What is so great about Balenciaga?
What is so great about Balenciaga begins with its unique silhouettes. The founder of the French fashion house, Cristóbal Balenciaga, created unique pieces that didn't uniformly follow the contours of the body. Examples include the balloon jacket, the cocoon coat and the baby doll dress, all of which have become iconic pieces. In addition to being a pioneer in the world of fashion, the fashion house is known for producing high-quality accessories. Explore a wide range of Balenciaga pieces on 1stDibs.
