Reader's Feast - Fashion

Balenciaga and Spain
Price: AUD 85.00 Author: Hamish Bowles

Published to celebrate an exhibition at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, this book identifies the influences of the designer's homeland and culture on the designs of Cristóbal Balenciaga. He was said to bring the style of Spain to his creations even though he resided in Paris after the Spanish Civil War. It is a book that impresses as quite different to many other such works on designers because of its exploration of various aspects of Spanish life - religion, dance, regional influences and bullfighting to name a few.
