Balenciaga Resort 2013

Nicolas Ghesquière pulled from Balenciaga's past for their current collection. He took the lead and inspiration from costumes designed by Cristobal Balenciaga for a ballet in the 1930's. You can sense the serenity from his use of color while the juxtaposition of contrast wakes up the resort line with a modern edge. Specifically, in the pairing of hard linear structure seen in the jackets with soft flowy dresses. There's also a play on masculine and feminine that I always find appealing. When executed correctly, its very chic. Oh, and lets not forget the shoes: Art! View Collection:
