The History of Balenciaga

Balenciaga is a luxury fashion house that was created by Cristóbal Balenciaga in 1919. Cristóbal opened his first boutiques in San Sebastián, Madrid, and Barcelona. The Spanish Civil War forced his boutiques to close, so he moved to Paris and was met with immediate success.

One of his most important contributions to fashion is considered his new silhouette for women, which gave attention to the female waist. He is known for creating the baby doll silhouette. His designs were seen as sleek and linear and he spent time trying to distinguish himself from Christian Dior, who at the time championed the hourglass shape. Cristóbal closed the fashion house in 1968 and died in 1972.

Balenciaga was acquired by Jacque Bogart S.A. in 1986 and released a collection titled ‘Le Dix.’ It was designed by Michel Goma, a French fashion designer, who stayed at the company for five years.

Goma was replaced by Josephus Thimister, a Dutch designer, in 1992. He is credited with restoring Balenciaga as a high fashion brand. Although very successful, neither Goma nor Thimister achieved the level of success and acclaim of Cristóbal Balenciaga himself.

During Thimister’s time at the company, Nicolas Ghesquière joined as a license designer and then was promoted to head designer in 1997. He was inspired by the extreme parts of Cristóbal’s work and launched trends like cargo pants, lego-like heels, and lariat handbags. He parted with the company in 2012.

Demna Gvasalia is the current creative director of Balenciaga, who started in 2015 after being the de facto head of Vetements. He is interested in subverting fashion by making a distinction between vernacular and luxury. He is also credited with reimagining streetwear and suiting, which he believes is a symbol of masculinity’s complex state. Balenciaga is currently extending itself outside of luxury fashion with video games and cartoons.
