Founded in 1917 by Cristóbal Balenciaga, Balenciaga is an iconic fashion house that has stood at the forefront of haute couture for over a century. From its humble beginnings in San Sebastian, Spain, the brand quickly gained a reputation for its unique and revolutionary designs, which combined a deep understanding of tailoring with a visionary sense of form and proportion. Despite political unrest leading to its relocation to Paris in 1937, Balenciaga thrived and continued to push the boundaries of fashion, solidifying its status as a leading fashion house.

Throughout the mid 20th century, Balenciaga was renowned for its innovative silhouettes and masterful craftsmanship, which redefined the standards of beauty in fashion. Cristóbal Balenciaga was widely regarded as a master of his craft, with iconic designs such as the tunic dress and the balloon jacket influencing the trajectory of fashion. His dedication to his craft was matched by his business acumen, leading to the international expansion of the brand.

In recent years, Balenciaga has continued to maintain its reputation as a trailblazer in the fashion industry. The brand's commitment to innovation and creative expression is evident in its contemporary collections, which seamlessly blend traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. Under the creative direction of designers such as Nicolas Ghesquière and Demna Gvasalia, Balenciaga has continued to evolve, reinvent, and reshape the fashion landscape, staying true to its legacy while looking towards the future.

Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture house to introduce the concept of luxury prêt-à-porter in a 1966 collection called ‘Rive Gauche’, synonymous with youth and freedom.

In 1999, the luxury goods division of the Kering Group acquired Yves Saint Laurent and, under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello since April 2016, continues to position the house at the summit of the luxury universe.

Today, Saint Laurent collections include women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, shoes, handbags, small leather goods, jewelry, scarves, ties and eyewear.

Guerlain is the Parisian alchemist that pursues an infinite quest for wonder of senses and crafts artistic beauty from Nature, since 1828. As a House of High Perfumery and High Cosmetics, it elevated bespoke to the level of Art. This is what makes it exceptional.

Since 1828, the history of the House of Guerlain has been distinguished by major creations whose contemporary and innovative spirit have marked and traversed the ages. Some of these creations remain references in contemporary beauty to this day.

Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain made the opening of his first boutique on rue de Rivoli in Paris in 1828 his founding act. It quickly became an elegant meeting place, where the Parisian beau monde and rich English travellers flocked to acquire creams, makeup and fragrances.

Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain dedicated the Eau de Cologne Impériale to Empress Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III, thus earning him the title “Official Perfumer to His Majesty”. He entrusted the Pochet du Courval glassworks with the manufacture of a bottle adorned with the Empire's bees, painted in fine gold, and a festoon motif, inspired by the Vendôme column. The Bee Bottle was born.

At 68 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, the Guerlain family built their hôtel particulier in 1914, a magnificent building registered in the Inventaire Supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques (the French Supplementary Historic Monument List). This boutique marked the beginning of the House's expansion, from Paris to, today, the four corners of the world.
