An undisputed master of haute couture from the 1930s through the 1960s, Cristobal Balenciaga's dresses, coats, and cloaks achieved the perfect expression of austere Spanish elegance in their form and folds, and attracted such clients as Marlene Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor, and the Duchess of Windsor. This volume celebrates Balenciaga's taste for infinite simplicity: a combination of perfect cut, sumptuous fabric, and a subtle evocation of the abstract.
