Balenciaga
and His Legacy
by Myra Walker
Born in 1895 in a remote fishing village in Spain, Cristobal Balenciaga
learned sewing and tailoring at his mother’s knee. By 1937,
the talented and persistent young man had opened his own design
salon in Paris, and in the years following World War II, he emerged
as a designer to be reckoned with in the world of haute couture.
The House of Balenciaga grew to serve an international clientele
from locations in Paris, Madrid, and Barcelona, and from 1937 to
its closing in 1968 created some of the most outstanding and innovative
examples of French and Spanish haute couture of the era. This beautifully
illustrated book presents nearly 70 Balenciaga creations for day
and evening, along with 25 hats, from the extraordinary archives
of the Texas Fashion Collection of the University of North Texas.
The book also includes striking fashion photographs from “Vogue”
magazine and “Harper’s Bazaar” by Richard Avedon
and Louise Dahl-Wolfe. A series of essays explores many aspects
of the designer’s work, among them his contributions to fashion
history; connections with such other prominent designers as Hubert
de Givenchy and Oscar de la Renta; important relationships with
Neiman Marcus and fashion buyer Bert de Winter in Dallas; and his
close friend and client Claudia Heard de Osborne. |
