How did Balenciaga become popular?
1 Answer
Balenciaga’s popularity is due, in part, to the brand’s willingness to experiment with size and shape in haute couture, creating interest and even controversy. Their mid-20th century women’s lines revolutionized the idea of how a dress should or could fit. Another reason this brand is so popular is the uncompromising dedication to quality and high-end results. Shop a collection of Balenciaga from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
