Balenciaga is a deluxe style residence founded in Spain by Cristóbal Balenciaga, a designer birthed in Guetaria, Spain. The brand name is currently owned by the French multinational firm Kering. Balenciaga had an online reputation as a couturier of uncompromising standards and was referred to as "the master people all" by Christian Dior. His bubble skirts and also weird, feminine, yet "futuristic silhouettes" became the trademarks of the house.
