Where was Cristóbal Balenciaga, founder of the Balenciaga fashion house, born?

Graham Y.N.W.A. JFT, Many of the high fashion brands have been remodeled, revamped, re- something. An old brand name is bought by a large corporation and remarketed as they like. Sometimes changing standards, some use cheap labour. Not saying it reduces quality but the family style business cannot compete, in general. I don't know if Balenciaga is such.

Uninitialized, I did. He's well known in Europe

His brand is huge in fashion now. And huge in price. My daughter has quite a few pieces. But I honestly thought it was a new brand. Y.N.W.A.    JFT96
