Balenciaga: The pioneer of haute couture

According to legends, the Spaniard Cristóbal Balenciaga designed his first model at the age of six, for his cat. No wonder he already discovered his talent for fashion in his childhood, after all, his mother was seamstress. She was also the one who helped him with his first dress for the Marquis de Casa Torres, who was so enthusiastic about Balenciaga's talent that she remained a client for life. As a faithful customer and a great admirer, Margravine Cristóbal Balenciaga financed the tailoring lesson in Madrid and supported him in the opening of his first tailors salon - he was just in his mid-twentys. From Madrid, the fashion designer moved to Paris in 1936. Here he tried to escape from the Spanish Civil War and eventually became a pioneer of haute couture. Initially, Balenciaga created exclusively his typical minimalist costumes, later his range extended over the entire range of fashionable accessories. In 1972 Cristóbal Balenciaga died. Since then, the brand Balenciaga has undergone a change of ownership. Since 2012, the American designer Alexander Wang has been the creative director, who keeps the basic idea of Christóbal Balenciaga and combines it with modern sophistication. Balenciaga is characteristic of perfectionist fashion with a stylish artistic ambition.
