Balenciaga has opened its largest flagship in the world, unveiling a four-story, 1,200-square-meter space in Beijing’s high-profile Taikoo Li Sanlitun shopping district. The store marks a new milestone for the Kering-owned house in mainland China, blending commercial ambition with historical storytelling.
To mark the opening, Balenciaga is presenting “Women Behind the Dress”, a rare archival exhibition that pays tribute to five iconic women from the worlds of film, art, and society—through the garments they wore during their most unforgettable moments. Staged on the third floor of the store, the showcase brings original haute couture pieces crafted by Cristóbal Balenciaga himself to mainland China for the first time.
