Balenciaga

Founded in 1918 by the Basque designer Cristobal Balensiagoy, the House has arisen as one of the greatest design organizations of the first decades of the XX century and has risen from ashes in the same quality a century later. Advanced by the real queens (Spanish and Belgian) and queens of the Hollywood society (Babe Paley, Gloria Ginnes, Marlene Dietrich), Balenciaga has neither more nor less changed a female silhouette. In the middle of the century he has presented forms, at first sight unsightly or even unattractive, after detailed studying become the last word of chic: a dress loose overall, doll baby-doll style, a skirt sphere, a sleeve bracelet (7/8 lengths of the sleeve opening a wrist). 

Balenciaga was a son of the seamstress from a small fishing small village. With assistance of the influential patron he was admitted to school of sartorial matter in Madrid and has opened the shop soon. The Spanish civil war has forced it to move to Paris in 1937, but the tragic event has turned back good luck: the greatest podium of Paris has provided him chance to expand the clients and to strengthen reputation "all couturier of the couturier".
