Little Book of Balenciaga

The godfather of conceptual design, a master of shaping, a true fashion designer - all are recognition of one of the most interesting, venerable and iconic couturiers of the twentieth century: Cristóbal Balenciaga. His clean lines, the comfort of his clothes and innovative work with fabrics, colours and volume had a huge impact on twentieth century fashion, with creations like babydoll, balloon and sack dresses still influencing fashion today.

Through stunning images and compelling text, Little Book of Balenciaga depicts the work and life of couturier Balenciaga. Fashion historian Emmanuelle Dirix examines his legacy both by tracing Maison Balencialiscia's artistic direction after his death and the generations of designers who have been influenced by the master himself.
