Balenciaga in 1927
A friend loaned me a small hardcover book about Balenciaga published by Universe in 1997, from which I extract a few favorite images in no particular order. The long pink peignoir on the pedestal was created for Madame Bedaux, "one of the designer's major clients." The black and white photographs from the 1950s were all taken by Irving Penn for Vogue.
