10 Runway Retrospective: Balenciaga
Proof that Kristen Stewart has refined taste: the 21-year-old star just inked a deal to become the new face of Balenciaga fragrance. Following Charlotte Gainsbourg, who represents the fashion house's first scent, Kristen will be part of Balenciaga's yet-to-be-named second perfume. Kristen has worn Balenciaga on the red carpet before, most notably a short and sheer dress that showed flashes of Read more
Most shows wouldn't be able to top collapsing benches, which in turn led to collapsing editors, but such a small snafu couldn't deter the magnificence seen on Balenciaga's Spring runway showing. Staying true to the brand's signature style, Nicolas Ghesquière showed dramatic structure, volume, and space-age fabrics. “I don’t know if oversize is the right term for that type of construction,” Read more
Balenciaga, born in 1918 when Cristóbal Balenciaga opened his namesake boutique in San Sebastian, Spain, became one of the greatest fashion houses of the early 20th century. It invented popular silhouettes, which today are known as the baby doll, the bubble skirt, and the bracelet sleeve — along with its signature sculptural design aesthetic. Fast-forward to 1997, when a young Nicolas Read more
Model Miranda Kerr wasn't the only fashionable face at the 2011 Balenciaga Fall show, which also counted Orlando Bloom and Anna Wintour among the front-row attendees. For Fall, creative director Nicolas Ghesquière took color-blocking and futuristic textures to a whole new level. Strong silhouettes were created with roped-leather vests and jackets, as well as fishnet tops paired with floral Read more
We always look to Balenciaga's Nicolas Ghesquiere for eye-opening styles, and his Pre-Fall collection is no exception. Tunics! Metallic pants! Plaids! Crazy bomber jacket! Now do we wear it all together? Click on the slideshow for more trends from Balenciaga. Read more
Kate Bosworth put on a Proenza Schouler dress and hit the red carpet with the label's designers, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, yesterday for the annual Night of Stars gala in NYC. Leighton Meester dressed up in Giambattista Valli for the event, while Jennifer Connelly got decked out in Balenciaga to present designer Nicolas Ghesquiere with the evening's Superstar statue. Kate was in the Read more
Nicolas Ghesquière may have delivered some silky, shouldery Dynasty-esque dresses in his Fall collection, but the '80s references stop there. Plus, I kinda love the dresses . . . Always with a smidge of sci-fi, this is possibly the most wearable Balenciaga collection yet. But it still manages to be distinct. Some looks are bedroom inspired, with draped satin skirts and pants. Others are lush Read more
Can you blame Michael Kors for drawing inspiration from Balenciaga's Fall collection for his 2009 Resort line? I can't. Nicolas Ghesquière's collection, especially this particular black cut-out dress on Natasha Poly, was so cutting edge, heck, I would be inspired by it if I were a designer. While many of you may think it's weird for one designer to copy another so blatantly, it's completely Read more
This morning one of the Pop girls declared: "I can't believe it's December." It always seems to creep up on you — the end of the year, that is. Alas, time flies when you're having fun! And fashion is just that. But it is time to decide which designer gets the Fab crown for Most Fab Designer of 2007. Last year, Phillip Lim won, and he has made great strides this year — maybe we sent him some Read more
I was thrilled to learn that Jennifer is the next face of Balenciaga; she is a Fab favorite with her off-kilter fashion choices, piercing blue eyes and black mane. Did I mention she's got sharp acting skills too? At the Reservation Road premiere she was already modeling pieces from Nicolas Ghesquière's Spring collection. Cocoon-like in form, art-like in print, the modernity of the house suits Read more
