Balenciaga : Shaping Fashion

Following the hugely successful Alexander McQueen 'Savage Beauty' exhibition, the V&A continues its fashionable theme with its latest offering Balenciaga : Shaping Fashion. 

Cristóbal Balenciaga is one of the most revered fashion designers of the twentieth century. His revolutionary shapes and unrivalled craftsmanship shaped the modernity of 1960s fashion and continues to shape fashion today, from the exquisite couture of Givenchy to the avant-garde streetwear of Demna Gvasalia.

 

The exhibition examines the work and legacy of influential Spanish couturier Cristóbal, with over 100 pieces crafted by ‘the master’ of couture, his protégées and contemporary fashion designers working in the same innovative tradition. 
Well worth a visit if you're in London Town. 

The exhibition runs from now until Sunday February 18th 2018.
