This past Friday, my good friend Mark invited me to view the exhibit of Cristobal Balenciaga at the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute in New York City. I have been a big fan of Mr. Balenciaga. He has an eye for detail and made him the best designer of his time. He was the only designer whom Coco Chanel praised and treated him as a huge competitor. In 1967, New York Times wrote, "No one in the French Couture can match him." Well! They were right.
It was an amazing exhibition curated by Hamish Bowles. The exhibit started this past Friday (November 19) and will run through February 19, 2011. Cristobal was a true genius. Taking pictures of the clothes were not allowed inside the exhibit. You have to go to see it for yourself.
