Balenciaga Clothes Australia

Constantly referencing archival material, Demna Gvasalia focuses on conceptual elements of the past and formative years of Cristóbal Balenciaga since the house was established, whilst combining notions of every-day modern day times. The Spanish house was founded in 1917 and Cristóbal Balenciaga himself was a renowned  couturier of uncompromising standards and revered by the likes of Christian Dior and Coco Chanel. His bubble skirts and innovative, feminine, "modernistic" silhouettes became the trademarks of the house. In fact, many famous designers worked and were tutored by Balenciaga, before creating their own successful houses including Oscar De La Renta and Hubert de Givenchy.

The ‘Demna’ signatures and cult  silhouettes at Parlour X include Hourglass figured suiting, deconstructed shirting, oversized dresses, logo statements and the Triple S sneakers.

What is Balenciaga known for?

Most people are aware of Cristóbal Balenciaga's contributions to modern women's fashion, which include pioneering revolutionary shapes like the balloon jacket in 1953 and the creation of the iconic sack dress in 1957. 

The current Creative Director of Balenciaga, Demna Gvasalia, has collaborated with Balenciaga House archives to preserve artistic integrity in cut, form, and material by studying the designer’s original work. 

Who founded Balenciaga?

Cristóbal Balenciaga established his label in Spain. Due to the Spanish Civil war, he relocated to France and opened his first boutique store in Paris in 1937. Balenciaga passed away on March 24, 1972, in his Spanish homeland. 

Are Balenciaga pieces sustainably made? 

Unlike many established fashion houses, Balenciaga is currently on target to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, displaying the brand’s commitment to environmentally-friendly policies. It also uses eco-friendly materials in some of its products while reducing the use of chromium and other dangerous chemicals from the leather tanning process. 

While Balenciaga has also created COVID-19 policies to aid suppliers and workers in its supply chain, the brand would benefit from boosting diversity and inclusion throughout the production stages. 

How does Balenciaga fit?

Generally, Balenciaga clothes, t-shirts, tops, jackets, dresses, denim, knitwear and pants fit true to size. However, Balenciaga sneakers may run slightly larger than most footwear brands, so you may consider sizing down by half a size.
