Japanese: バレンシアガ - ばれんしあが(英語表記)Christobal Balenciaga
Balenciaga - Balenciaga (English spelling) Christobal Balenciaga

Spanish-born fashion designer. One of the most representative creators of the 20th century, along with Poiret and Chanel. He gained fame with a shop called "EiSa" in Barcelona and other places, but fled to Paris during the Spanish Civil War in 1937. The shop he opened on Avenue Georges V was a huge success, and thereafter, with his elegant style that blended Spanish boldness with Parisian elegance, he reigned over the world of fashion as a "master of haute couture." The simple forms supported by perfect technique, such as the innovative tent dress and cacoon coat that he introduced in the 1950s, continue to influence many designers today. He retired after his Spring/Summer 1968 collection.

Japanese:

スペイン生まれの服飾デザイナー。ポワレ、シャネルと並び称せられる、20世紀を代表するクリエーターの一人。バルセロナなどに「エイザ」EiSaという名の店をもち名声を得たが、1937年のスペイン内乱でパリに逃れた。ジョルジュ・サンク通りに開いた店は、大成功を収め、以後、スペイン的大胆さにパリの優雅さが融け込んだ格調高い作風によって、「オートクチュールの巨匠」として世界のモード界に君臨した。50年代に発表した革新的なテント・ドレス、カクーン・コートなど、完璧(かんぺき)な技術に支えられた簡潔なフォルムは、今日も多くのデザイナーに影響を及ぼしている。68年春夏のコレクションを最後に引退した。
