Balenciaga: Reinventing the archive

This is one of the reasons why I love Balenciaga. All the time, Nicolas Ghesquière is researching in the past of this luxury brand and mixing all that pieces of art with the present and, why not, with the future.
Take a look of this video. It's a little part of a Balenciaga's fashion show of spring/summer in the 60's.
Esta es una de las razones por las que me gusta Balenciaga. Todo el tiempo, Nicolas Ghesquière esta buscando en el pasado de esta marca de lujo y mezclando esas piezas de arte con el presente y, por que no, con el futuro.
Mira este video. Es una pequeña parte de un desfile de Balenciaga para la primavera/verano de 1960.

The first silhouettes recalls to Fall 06 where we could see directly the influence of Cristobal's style in the talent of Nicolas.
Las primeras siluetas recuerdan a la coleccion de Invierno 06 donde podemos ver directamente la influencia del estilo de Cristobal en el talento de Nicolas.

And now he did it again. He took the past to the present. Is impossible don't falling in a trance when you see the Spring 2008 collection. The shape and the volume of the clothes reffers to the last outffits of the video. The dresse's prints are like the print of the dress that appears there. The textures of the clothes are amazing. We can notice the soft Japanese inflence mixed with the gladiator's armor strength and a shoes between Peruan and African folk influence.
Y ahora el lo hizo de nuevo. Trajo el pasado al presente. Es imposible no entrar en una suerte de trance al ver la coleccion Primavera/Verano 2008. La forma y el volumen de la ropa refencia a los ultimos conjuntos del video. Los estampados de los vestidos son como la estampa del vestido que aparece alli. Las texturas son asombrosas. Podemos notar la suave influencia japonesa mezclada con la fuerza de una armadura de gladiador y unos zapatos entre lo peruano y lo africano.

My buy of the day.

Today I bought a Spanish Vogue. Its from Juny, yes, I know, its old but in my country all comes late and the publications like magazines comes late because its another hemisphere and when in the North is Winter here, in the South, is Summer.

And I had "laught" a lot when I saw that there says: Anoter 4 pounds, finally the fashion embraces the curves.
Who are you wanting to deceiving?? have you seen that they have made thiier every model. Every one is thinier. For example we could name Anja Rubik, Natasha Poly, Snejana Onopka, Lily Donaldson or Freja Beha.
Another funny thing that I found in the magazine was that there was a note about the style of Vogue´s editor like our dear and lovely bitch, Anna Wintour, Carine Roitfeld who is one of my favourite style icon, and Franca Sozzani, about who I dont know anything.
