Balenciaga Mallorca platform leather sandals.

Cristóbal Balenciaga was considered a master of haute couture, so much so that Christian Dior called him “the couturier of couturiers”. His creations revolutionized the concept of women's clothing through architectural lines, innovative volumes, and impeccable use of fabrics. Among his most famous inventions are the sack dress, the egg coat, the balloon line, and silhouettes that prioritized comfort and elegance without sacrificing sophistication.

In 1968, Balenciaga closed the maison and retired from fashion. After his passing in 1972, the brand remained inactive until the eighties, when a gradual relaunch began. The true rebirth came with joining the Kering group and with the succession of creative directors who reinterpreted the founder's legacy. Among them, Nicolas Ghesquière helped bring Balenciaga back to the center of contemporary fashion with a perfect balance between innovation and tradition.

Since 2015, under the creative direction of Demna, the brand has adopted an even more experimental identity, becoming a protagonist of contemporary fashion thanks to oversize silhouettes, iconic sneakers, innovative accessories, and communication capable of uniting luxury, pop culture, and provocation.
