"Balenciaga (Spanish pronunciation: [balen\u02C8\u03B8ja\u0263a]) is a European fashion house founded by Crist\u00F3bal Balenciaga, a Spanish designer, born in the Basque Country, Spain. He had a reputation as a couturier of uncompromising standards and was referred to as \"the master of us all\" by Christian Dior. His bubble skirts and odd, feminine, yet ultra-modern shapes were trademarks of the house. The House of Balenciaga is now owned by the French multinational company Kering."@en . . . . "1919Z"^^ . .
