"The couturier of couturiers” Spanish designer Cristobal Balenciaga was famous for his odd yet feminine designs. He founded the house in 1998, and it remains one of the greatest establishments up to date.
In 1997, French designer Nicolas Ghesquiere was promoted to Creative Director, and has been able to expand the house, to include Balenciaga Sunglasses. The eyewear designs combine Balenciaga’s rich heritage with futuristic elements.
