Balenciaga, has recently opened a new fascionable shop in the fashion part of the famouse Rue St. Honore, Paris, where they present a long line of all what the house can present in the fashion business, for the international – and the french audience.
This new opening reminds us of the beautiful book, that we presented earlier this year
. Please enjoy it:
GETARIA: Christian Dior called Cristobal Balenciaga “the master of us all”. The priest-like Balenciaga, whose private life remained a total mystery until the day he died, created day dresses of deceiving simplicity and evening gowns of staggering extravagance, and for them he was paid the highest prices in the couture world.
. He opened in Barcelona in 1933, in Madrid in 1935, and in 1948 on the Avenue Georges V in Paris, where he could serve a more international clientele. Cristobal Balenciaga retired in 1968 and died in reclusion in his native Spain in 1972.
