NICOLAS GHESQUIERE FOR BALENCIAGA, FALL 2007 RTW
This is one of my favourite Balenciaga collections - I like the ever changing silhouettes and the tribal influences, the juxtaposition of feminine and masculine (draping silk dresses with super tailored blazers), the warpaint feature, accents of fur and tassels and clashing patterns and long hair tucked into scarves. Oh, and the staple khaki coat showcased 4 years ago!
Cristobal Balenciaga was a couturier who revolutionised many fashion styles in the 1950s-1960s. His style was simple, chic and minimalist. He is also credited with bringing into fashion the likes of the balloon dress, the sack dress and the kimono-sleeve coat, ingenious.
