      Balenciaga is a high-end luxury fashion brand founded in 1917 by Spanish designer Cristóbal Balenciaga in Bilbao, Spain, and is now headquartered in Paris, France.
      The brand's product lines include apparel, footwear, bags, and fragrances.
      Its elegant silhouettes convey garment quality at a glance; this style—defined as true fashion—has a minimalist yet edgy worldview that consistently drives the times and creates a series of trends.
      After Nicolas Ghesquière was appointed artistic director in 1997, a motorcycle-inspired handbag line was first adopted by fashion editors and quickly became globally popular, earning the status of an "editor bag."
      In recent years, changes in designers have been a hot topic: Alexander Wang served as creative director (2013–2015), and at the end of 2015 the brand appointed Vetements designer Demna Gvasalia as the new creative director.
      Expectations for the collections under this emerging designer have further increased.
