90 Years of Beautiful Design - Balenciaga

Season after season I love to see the new Balenciaga fashions! The models look stunning on those run ways!

The man behind the brand! Cristobal Balenciaga, was born in 1895 in Spain.


His mother was a seamstress, and he learned many skills from her. He quickly became a successful designer and opened his first boutique in 1919. Beautiful fashions with the Balenciaga name have been being crafted ever since! The new designs are amazing, but let's take a minute to look at some of the older designs and Vintage Balenciaga Ads.








Do you have any favorite designers that have been around for decades? I love the classic designs that these fashion powerhouses produce, and at the same time the uniqueness of each different piece.
