What’s hot in Paris? In the city of French Chic, comes an important fashion exhibition in homage to master French couturier Cristobal Balenciaga… the man before the brand as many know it today.
A fabulous new exhibit of the couturier Balenciaga’s fashions has just opened. The collection is a tribute to mark the 40th anniversary of the death of the master fashion designer.

It was generously donated by the family of Balenciaga and celebrates his legacy with forty haute couture coats and dresses from 1937 to 1968 along with 70 costumes and accessories, photographs, sketches, and some art and costume books that influenced him.
The exhibit also has some inspirational items of traditional Spanish folklore including religious and ceremonial robes. –Richard Nahem
