Balenciaga
1918 was the year Cristobal Balenciaga’s first couture house was founded in San Sebastian, Spain. Balenciaga’s designs were instant sensations, and it wasn’t long before his number of couture houses grew and spread in Spain. When it came to designing, Balenciaga was an architect for design, a sculptor for safety, a painter for color, and a musician for style harmony. Today, the House of Balenciaga crafts luxurious ready-to-wear collections, accessories, and shoes for women and men on a global scale.Balenciaga women’s shoes are fantastic ways to add vibrancy and street chic style to any ordinary wardrobe. Women who love color will love Balenciaga's footwear creations. The Balenciaga gladiator sandal has vibrantly colorful studs on suede straps and black and white-striped inserts crisscrossing the upper and vamp, bringing life to any simple outfit of skinny jeans and a plain top. While the platform trend is nothing new to the fashion world this season, Balenciaga has used it as a springboard to create distinctive styles to flatter the feet of women. The Balenciaga “Stingray” and suede sandal, for example, features a peep-toe, straps across the ankle and toe, and a rubber sole for easy walking (which is fantastic for such a high heel).
