Think Exclusive, Think Skill, Think of Balenciaga
Spanish vogue would not be ample without Balenciaga. The popular House of Balenciaga was initiated by no other than Cristobal Balenciaga who was born on January 21, 1895 in Guetaria, San Sebastian, Spain.
Cristobal studied dressmaking and needlework with his matriarch; and five years after his studies, he opened a couture business supported by the Marquesa de Casa Torres in 1915. It was in the 1940s after the World War II that Balenciaga rose to fame in the circle of international vogue. He was part of Christian Dior's New Look Launch where he was one of the tree artists who dressed the era's most attractive women.
Balenciaga became more well-known in 1957 when he offered to the world the "baby doll" look. He was known as the master of illusion, a talent he combined with his encouragement -- Spanish art and time-honored costumes -- and came up with the baby look.
One of Balenciaga's famous patrons was also one of the world's icon of beauty and charm, Jacqueline Kennedy. It was reported that Mrs. Kennedy's attachment for luxurious Balenciaga creations used to upset her husband, JFK. Rumors has it that her bills were compensated in furtive by her father-in-law.
Balenciaga deceased on March 23, 1972, four years after his giving up work. But there's no need to fear because The House of Balenciaga is now under the Gucci group, a substantial name in European vogue.
