Summary

BALENCIAGA - Visual Merchandising EMEA Intern - October 2026

About us

Cristóbal Balenciaga founded the House in 1917 in his home of Spain. In 1937, he established the brand in Paris, designing its collections there until 1968. Cristóbal Balenciaga had a reputation as a couturier of uncompromising standards and was referred to as "the master of us all" by Christian Dior and as “The Couturier of the Couturiers” by Gabrielle Chanel. The ultra-modern shapes were trademarks of the house.

While the brand’s identity is firmly rooted in its highly conceptual prêt-à-porter collections, its leather goods, footwear, and accessories experience worldwide success as well. Among the archetypal products of the House are its handbag collections. A new focus on the development of Balenciaga ready-to-wear collections for men was quickly established as highly successful.

From October 2015 to July 2025, Demna designed the men’s and women’s collections as Artistic Director.

In July 2025, Pierpaolo Piccioli was appointed Creative Director of Balenciaga.

The Balenciaga House, part of the Kering group since 2001, is one of the most influential names in fashion.

We are looking for a EMEA Visual Merchandising Intern for a duration of 6 months.
