Cristóbal Balenciaga Eizaguirre was a Spanish fashion designer and the founder of the Balenciaga fashion house.
At the age of twelve he began working as a tailor's apprentice. As a teenager, the Marchioness of Casa Torres became his client and patron. She sent him to Madrid, where he received professional training.
In 1919 he opened a boutique in San Sebastián, which expanded to open branches in Madrid and Barcelona.
In 1951 he completely transformed the silhouette, broadening the shoulders and removing the waist from his creations. In 1955 he designed the tunic dress, which later became the 1957 chemise dress. By 1959 his work had become an empire, featuring high-waisted dresses and kimono-cut coats. Such creations are considered masterpieces of haute couture of the 1950s and 1960s.
Balenciaga also taught fashion, inspiring other designers such as Oscar de la Renta, André Courrèges, Emanuel Ungaro and Hubert de Givenchy.
It has been part of the Gucci Group since 2001.
