BALENCIAGA…This is a singular house. Fall winter 2010/11 collection“A good couturier must be an architect for design, a sculptor for shape, a painter for color, a musician for harmony and a philosopher for temperance.” Cristobal Balenciaga Daily work, respect, high standards and generosity. Cristobal Balenciaga was the purest servant of Haute Couture. Cristobal Balenciaga would spend his entire life exploring the alchemy of clothing and the beauty of couture. At the epicentre of this existence would be his total mastery of art which resulted in the House’s ultimate signature: the simplicity of the cut. This is Balenciaga’s legacy. Balenciaga would put all of his energy into the construction of clothing, painstakingly breaking apart its structure in search of its secrets, like a puzzle continuously reworked and simplified in order to resemble perfection and the simplicity of a single line. He naturally took up his work season after season, staking his claim in fashion history. From Cristobal Balenciaga to Nicolas Ghesquière, the space is steeped in an atmosphere both rigorous and whimsical. Between the experimentation of couture and the morale of the cut. In the House of Balenciaga, there is the couturier who obeys the rules of style, but also the artist who embraces the realm of dreams.
