BALENCIAGA: SHAPING FASHION (V&A PUBLISHING, 2017) BY LESLEY ELLIS MILLER

“Published 100 years after Balenciaga established his first fashion house in Spain in 1917, this seminal book explores what made Balenciaga’s work so exceptional and how it continues to shape fashion today. The publication includes an in-depth focus on the business side of the Balenciaga house and is the accompanying publication to the Balenciaga: Shaping Fashion exhibition. It features many of the garments in the exhibition from the V&A’s extensive collection of 1950s and 1960s pieces.”
