The World of Balenciaga 1973

Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1973 to accompany its landmark exhibition devoted to Cristóbal Balenciaga.

The 77-page catalogue documents Balenciaga’s work through archival photography and images of his most important designs, from sculptural evening gowns to the dramatic silhouettes that established him as one of the great couturiers of the 20th century.

A beautiful piece of fashion history and a great reference for anyone interested in Balenciaga, tailoring and mid-century fashion.
