Since he opened his first shop, in 1919, Cristóbal
Balenciaga has been entrancing his clientele and us mere mortals with great
frocks.
His bubble skirts and odd, feminine, yet ultra-modern shapes
were (sorry are) unmistakeable
qualities of his creative approach and the fashion house he founded, which
continues today.
He is "The master
of us all" said Christian Dior
AND The V&A always puts on a good show of frocks.
Just finished is an exhibition that examined the work and
legacy of influential Spanish couturier.
There were over a hundred pieces crafted by ‘the master’ of
couture, his protégées and contemporary fashion designers working in the same
innovative tradition.
My top pick was a darling evening mini-dress by Emanuel Ungaro (who worked for the Master).
