Fashion &... Balenciaga: The Master of Haute Couture

“A woman has no need to be perfect […] to wear my dresses, the dress will do all that for her” - Cristóbal Balenciaga
Fashion &… Balenciaga celebrates the man who redefined haute couture and dominated post World War II French Fashion.
Widely considered by his contemporaries as “The Master of us All”, Cristóbal Balenciaga had a reputation as a couturier of uncompromising standards.
A highly skilled pattern cutter and tailor, Balenciaga created his innovative designs, working intently at the construction of each garment, dissecting its structure in great detail, seeking out their secrets like a puzzle, endlessly reworking and simplifying until he reached perfection.
Fifty years after his death, Cristóbal Balenciaga remains a legendary figure in the history of 20th century fashion.
