An exceptional example of an iconic piece of Balenciaga, this unworn suit constructed from black silk velvet and ribbed ottoman silk, consists of a dynamic, romantic jacket with black crystal buttons and a vast stand out collar and matching skirt. Cut to enhance the wearers figure, the suit has extraordinary proportion at the height of the corseted silhouette, with a miniscule waist. Both pieces are Eisa labelled, by the original couture atelier of Cristobal Balenciaga.
Cristobal Balenciaga was the man known as ‘the couturier’s couturier’ and referred to by Coco Chanel as simply ‘the Master’. His understanding of fabric, shape and the construction of clothing was without equal and this stunning suit is a superb example of Balenciaga when it was Signor Balenciaga himself at the helm.
