Haute couture techniques

The course programme of Haute Couture techniques promoted by the Museum in recent years seeks to spread the values and, principally, the techniques of Cristóbal Balenciaga adapted to the context of today’s fashion. 

Intensive practical courses run by highly qualified professionals which take place entirety at the museum offering participants an immersion in the Balenciaga universe. Added to this are the new online training options made possible by digital tools.

The programme offers three different itineraries: tailoring, fantasy and embroidery. It also comes in different levels of accomplishment enabling the participants to gradually improve their technical skills, with a total estimated dedication of 200 hours.
