Welbeck Book Little Book Of Balenciaga

“High fashion is like an orchestra, whose conductor is Balenciaga. We other couturiers are the musicians and we follow the direction it gives. -Christian Dior

The godfather of conceptual design, a master of form, a true fashion revolutionary – these are all accolades bestowed on one of the most interesting, revered and iconic couturiers of the twentieth century: Cristóbal Balenciaga. His purity of line, the comfort of his garments and innovative work with fabrics, colors and volumes had a huge impact on 20th century fashion, with creations such as babydolls, balloon dresses and sack dresses still influencing fashion today .

Through stunning images and captivating text, Little Book of Balenciaga describes the work and life of Balenciaga the couturier. Emmanuelle Dirix examines his legacy both by tracing the artistic direction of the Maison after his death and the generations of designers influenced by the master himself.
