An architect of Haute Couture, Balenciaga is famed for its sculptural, cocoon shapes and nostalgic references to the designer's native Spain, which have undergone a modern update since Alexander Wang joined the house in 2012. Following in the footsteps of Nicholas Ghesquière, his sporty, "model off-duty" aesthetic has given the legendary fashion house a modern update. Whether worn with formal wear or statement pieces to set off an outfit, Balenciaga's collection of structured and sculptural earrings can be worn to fit any occasion.
