The History of Balenciaga

Ойын-сауық

Balenciaga is one of the most prolific brands in fashion, and in this video we look at its history dating back to the very beginning. We learn how Cristóbal Balenciaga defied the odds to start his own couture house, the Nicolas Ghesquière years, the Alexander Wang years, and of course the arrival of Demna Gvasalia. In talking about Demna, we’ll discuss how he founded Vetements and went on to revolutionize Balenciaga, which is now one of the most popular brands in world (even among major stars like Kanye West). This is really one of the craziest stories I’ve covered so I hope you enjoy!

    Cristóbal Balenciaga was “the master of us all”, in the words of another fashion icon of the era, Christian Dior. Also Coco Chanel, not very given to making friends and free praises, said he was the only authentic couturier. Unlike his contemporaries, he was able to design, cut, assemble and sew a dress from beginning to end. In his own words: “A good couturier should be: an architect for patterns, sculptor for form, painter for drawings, musician for harmony, and philosopher for measure.” summarize perfectly his vision of the trade.

    The lovely way you worded your comment made me question if there is anyone like him ... he is the one and only that inspired the world! I can tell you have a great love and deep respect for his talent /s (which are many) I believe that there are many people out there today, capable of doing all that you mentioned “from start to finish “ but sadly, it’s a very competitive industry and very hard to break into it, it’s sad because these days to get a start in it you have to know the right people or you may never get your feet over the door! I know this happens in a lot of industries like this)especially in the arts) but in my opinion there are many , many talented people capable to do the work (every step) but never get noticed in the way they should because of the snobbery in the industry.

    Not for nothing if Christobal was alive he’d probably be mortified by what’s happened to his house. I know brands have to modernize to stay relevant for the times, but it reminds me of Dior and Saint Laurent who both were alive when new creative directors took over and they hated their designs. I personally think Ghesquiere’s Balenciaga was the best. I still sigh every time I think about those collections. This newest couture collection was amazing and modern I loved the models and the inclusion of mens wear

    @@geroutathat I think people tend to overlook the overt symbolism and messaging presented in art. It can so easily be passed off as “avant garde” or exploratorily controversial that we absolve the artist of having any role in the conveyance of said messaging , and seem to “forget” that all art is made with a distinct purpose and intent, regardless of how others perceive it. We also greatly underestimate the power of art and symbolism … it may seem harmless , but imagine being in a room surrounded with dark and disturbing imagery… how does it make you feel? What does it make you think about? Already these images are affecting your mental state, your emotional state, and thought processes… what I’m saying is that all these impressions and images stay with us and have a direct affect on us. We should ask ourselves more when it comes to art. How does this make me feel? What are they trying to say? What does this imagery represent?

Lets not pretend he came from a country that tries to protect children, countries that brought in age of consent of 16/17 decades before, and never had a normal culture of children as young as 12 being married off. I mean did you know that today in Hungary the age of consent is 14? and if youre 18 you can be with children as young as 12 legally? These are the type of cultures and rich he pandered to, its like romeo and juliet.. shakespeare wanted to write them as 13 but chose 14. The average age of marriage in UK/Ireland at the time was 18-20. They had no culture of marrying young or young consent, in fact the opposite. He chose this age as it was how rich people lived, to show the crowd a glimpse inside rich life of the people who were coming over to marry their kings and queens. People would have left thinking "what stupid children, really rich people have no problems in life at all and live on a different planet to us". The planet he lived on.

I also would bet that Alexander W. was removed due to the countless allegations of S.A that have come to light.

    Well Cristobal was the only couturier in his time he was able to design and produce his work. The last dress he created was a wedding gown for a Spanish princess he designed it and stitched it himself and retired for good because no one cared about craftsmanship and quality fashion and eventually died of grief. Now Demna (who’s given 14 minutes of this video when the king of haute couture himself got only 8) dissed all the history and the vision of the brand’s founder and used this position to bring out his brand and the mess he created. Worst of all when he said that his goal is to ruin fashion. I seriously cant wait for him to leave this brand alone and go back to his own brand and create the mess he wishes for his own fans and leave Balenciaga and its original clientele in peace.

    I’m curious about this goal of demnas to “ruin fashion” … he certainly seems to be ruining something …. Although I’m a little confused about how anyone can ruin something as a concept. I mean fashion just is, everyone takes part in “fashion” whether they’re aware of it or not.

Super informative BUT surely you could have found footage/photos of Balenziaga BEFORE the 1950's (that 50's showroom footage was running whilst you were talking about the 20's, 30's etc) plus no mention of the iconic tulip dress! Aside from that you're doing such a good job! Also........ an additional bit of info that you may not know., ...... Demna enlisted Martine Rose to consult for a while..... You should do one on her! She's amazing! Martine Rose had a big influence on Demna ( the use of the Bernie logo is similar to the way she uses logos) You can see her influence in the first Vetements collection and SO many other pieces throughout his career! She's SO underrated! ❤️❤️
