Balenciaga: Spanish Master is an an unprecedented fashion collaboration between The House of Balenciaga in Paris and the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute, showcasing more than 70 items of Balenciaga clothing and accessories.
The exhibit, conceived by Oscar de la Renta, Chairman of the Institute’s Board of Directors, and curated by Hamis Bowles, European Vogue’s Editor-at-Large, will run through February 19th at the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute in NYC and will then be expanded for presentation as the exhibit, Balenciaga and Spain, at the de Young Museum in San Francisco from March 2 to July 4, 2011.
Masterpieces shown in this collection include Balenciaga’s 1939 “Infanta” gown, the embroidered 1957 wedding dress of Balenciaga’s Spanish muse (the Marquesa de Llanzol), matador boleros and flamenco-inspired dresses.
It’s a must-see exhibit for a vintage fashionista!
More information available at Queen Sofia Spanish Institute.
A couturier must be…
…an architect for design
…a sculptor for shape
…a painter for color
…a musician for harmony
…a philosopher for temperance
This describes the “Balenciaga spirit” as professed on the Balenciaga website and boy, does it ever capture the essence of this great designer!
Take today’s VPOD for instance, an haute couture 1960s coat by Balenciaga. The design is architectural, displaying balance and precision, as well as sculptural with those perfectly proportioned sleeves. The color? Well, in this case the painter chose a pale shade to accentuate the purity of the design. The musician? He made sure to allow for enough simplicity so the coat could be accompanied by a quartet of accessories. And finally, the philosopher made sure that there would be “no useless ostentation” and that the piece would stand out regardless of the woman who wore it.
That, my friends, is all it takes to be a master of your craft. A genius. A one-and-only.
Like this one-and-only find for a vintage fashionista!
Available at Vintage Couture.
