balenciaga

I've been reading these Universe of Fashion books on classic designers. They're a brief summary of the history, influences and careers of the amazing names we hear day to day but may not know that much about. I'm reading a lot of these as a little overview and then getting more thorough books on some that really get me...

A few of my favorite pages from the book of Balenciaga

Seriously - how much do you love those feathers?

A lot? Me too.

The feathers are fantastic. And dear fashion gods, could I please have a Balenciaga bag someday? Thanks.
