巴黎世家

Balenciaga's Chinese name 巴黎世家 (Bā lí shì jiā) means 'Paris family/dynasty'. This is a creative semantic-geographic name: 巴黎 is Paris and 世家 means a distinguished family or dynasty. The brand was founded by Cristóbal Balenciaga but became a Paris fashion house, making this translation both historically accurate and aspirationally Parisian.
