Balenciaga

Balenciaga was once the most technically accomplished couturier in the history of fashion, a Spaniard in Paris who could do things with cloth that no one else could understand. Today the house — under Demna — occupies a very different territory: provocative, uncomfortable, deliberately crude in its luxury, and obsessed with the codes of power and commerce. It is one of the most discussed and divisive brands in contemporary fashion, and one of the most commercially successful. Balenciaga fragrances share this confrontational spirit, designed to be worn by people who find comfort in the edge.
