Balenciaga Womens Dresses

Enjoy the playful decadence of Balenciaga dresses. The luxury brand was founded in Spain in 1919 by master dressmaker Cristóbal Balenciaga, and it has been crafting fine fashion pieces ever since, with the modern gown at the heart of its design philosophy. In this collection you can expect to find a variety of gorgeous garments that reference enduring designs while experimenting with materials and structure.

Whether they're channelling catwalk opulence or embracing a more casual look, these dresses can't help but be the centrepiece of an outfit. Balenciaga evening dresses are often built around eye-catching asymmetrical forms, with elaborate draping or cute pleats to complete the off-kilter style. The brand also takes inspiration from some unexpected scenes, themes and places for a quirky hybrid aesthetic. Think sleek dresses with the ribbed trims of a rocker T-shirt, the buttons and collar of a vintage grungy flannel, or the moulded cups of the burlesque glamour world.

Matching these boundary-pushing designs is a careful choice of fabrics and a meticulous stitching technique. Expect floaty crinkled silk, or soft organic cotton jersey woven into breathable textures and jacquard patterns. A Balenciaga black dress might be finished off with delicate lace embroidery, and you'll also find classic polka dots and tartan checks.
