BALENCIAGA
The award for the freshest , most controversial brand of the 21st century would no doubt be handed to Balenciaga .

The designer ’ s namesake , Cristóbal Balenciaga , revolutionised women ’ s clothing in the mid-20th century , pioneering new shapes and styles that shocked the fashion world .
Our home office is designed to capture the brand ’ s vision , using bold shapes , abstract structures , along with a clever manipulation of fabrics .
Whether you ’ re a huge fan of Balenciaga ’ s abstract approach to design , or you ’ re dreaming of a room that represents the French luxury of Coco Chanel , use our captivating images to add some haute couture to your home .
ALEXANDER MCQUEEN
If there ’ s one designer who ’ s known for creating chaos on the catwalk , it ’ s Alexander McQueen . The British designer , known as the “ Fashion Rebel ”, had a meteoric rise to fame in the early 2000s , and his legacy continues after his passing with an infinitely stylish label .
He channelled his passion for Roman Gothic architecture and the Victorian era using dark colours , thick fabric , and metallic embellishments , which we ’ ve used to inspire our home office design .
One of McQueen ’ s most famous designs was the iconic skull motif . The skull print scarf became the world ’ s must-have accessory in 2003 , with celebrities such as Johnny Depp and Cameron Diaz keen to try McQueen ’ s rock ‘ n ’ roll look .
The skull motif was soon transported from the catwalk to the high street , appearing on a variety of apparel , from handbags and shoes to hoodies and t-shirts . Now , it ’ s even featured in a home office !
