The Spanish designer Cristóbal Balenciaga founded his company in San Sebastian, Spain and it became an internationally recognized luxury fashion house after the French group Kering bought them out. They had always been known for their uncompromising standards that were called "the master of us all" by Christian Dior when he worked with this brand before they closed down shop decades ago but now you can find everything from dresses to accessories at recent shows run exclusively through social media channels where collections come full force every season.
