Founded in 1917, Balenciaga has distinguished itself for designs of daring innovation, technical artistry, and pure forms. Artistic director Demna Gvasalia's take on its revolutionary shapes is synonymous with a groundbreaking, contemporary approach to fashion codes.
A visual journey through Balenciaga's Winter 18 ready-to-wear collection--with never-before-shown images--this volume spotlights 300 behind-the-scenes photographs selected by Gvasalia himself. From sketches, fittings, and rehearsals to snaps of models backstage, the runway, and beyond, readers dive into the life of the collection. With a striking neon-coloured graffiti exterior and printed with fluoro inks, this veritable artwork of a book nods to Gvasalia's radical vision and the collection's cutting-edge creations.
