More than three decades after his death, the Spanish couturier Cristobal Balenciaga (1895-1972) has become a legendary figure in the history of 20th-century fashion. This book examines Balenciaga`s design and business practice, placing him in the context of the time and country in which he learnt his trade and the international fashion scene.

Towards the end of her life, major exhibitions in London and Vienna brought Viennese artist Marie-Louise von Motesiczky (1906-1996) wide acclaim. This book invites Motesiczky`s work and situates the artist in the troubled history of her times. It tells the story of Motesiczky`s life. In the years following World War II, Cristobal Balenciaga emerged as a designer to be reckoned with in the world of haute couture. This illustrated book presents nearly 70 Balenciaga creations for day and evening, along with 25 hats, from the archives of the Texas Fashion Collection of the University of North Texas.

This was the profession of faith of the man whom Dior called ‘the master of us all’. Strict, even ascetic, Balenciaga was, with Chanel, Dior and Schiaparelli, one of the icons of the golden age of haute couture. The care he took with a garment’s construction, the perfection of his cut, his choice of materials, textures and colours, including an intense black, gave his vision of fashion and refinement a singular distinction, that became the fashion house’s famous signature.

Having presented his last collection in February 1968, Balenciaga decided to close his salons and to return to live in the country of his birth, Spain. Thirty years later, Nicolas Ghesquière re-established the artistic direction of the house, giving the venture – once thought to be finished – a new lease of life. Universally acclaimed for his freshness of vision, sobriety and a rigour that recalls that of his predecessor, Ghesquière is considered one of the most important creative personalities at work today.

Balenciaga Paris pays homage to this unique fashion enterprise, covering both stellar periods of the house – a span of some 75 years.

With a fascinating collection of photographs, sketches, illustrations and press comments, assembled by Pamela Golbin, curator at the Musée de la Mode et du Textile, the book presents a precise chronology and a detailed account of this two-part journey.

Designed by Fabien Baron, art director of Vogue, and featuring work by some of the finest photographers of our time, including Irving Penn, this publication provides not only the compelling history of one of Paris’s greatest fashion houses, but also constitutes a milestone of book design in its own right.

This innovative book presents dynamic and interpretive photographs of British ballgowns spanning 60 years and includes designs by Alexander McQueen, Bellville Sassoon, Bill Gibb, Erdem, Gareth Pugh, Stella McCartney and Zandra Rhodes. The specially commissioned photographs, by fashion photographer David Hughes, are supplemented by essays exploring the ballgown as a particularly British garment, with designers, clients and occasions unique to Britain. The social season of debutante parties and private balls, weddings and charity events have long provided Britain's fashion designers with opportunities to design elaborate, tour de force eveningwear. In more recent years the ballroom has been replaced by the red carpet. Though the context has changed, the ballgown remains a staple in many designers' collections and continues to serve as an expression of status, protocol and taste, while simultaneously embodying elements of drama and fantasy.
