Cristóbal Balenciaga

Oscar De La Renta and Hamish Bowles team up to celebrate the work of Cristóbal Balenciaga.




Last weekend marked the opening of the first major survey of Cristóbal Balenciaga’s work. Hailed as 'Fashion’s Picasso' by photographer Cecil Beaton, the exhibition will investigate the impact of Spanish art, culture and history on Balenciaga’s designs.



Over 70 of his garments will be shown alongside traditional Spanish costumes and artworks, in an attempt to convey his longstanding infatuation with his native culture.




The show was conceived by Oscar De La Renta, who began his career working for Balenciaga, and has been curated by Vogue’s European Editor-at-Large Hamish Bowels.







 
Balenciaga: Spanish Master runs from 19th November 2010 – 19th February 2011 at the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute, New York.

Thierry Le Goues, French Revue de Modes #15 - October 2009

I can’t help but think of Helmut Newton when I see menswear for women.

The story in French Revue de Modes #15 featuring Nikole Ivanova is no exception.

We have photographer Thierry Le Gouès to thank for these stunning pictures of Nikole.

Chico & Rita

We here at Fred & Ginger Vintage are very excited indeed in regards to the forthcoming release of the animated film Chico & Rita.

Set in 1940's Cuba, Chico is a young piano player with big dreams and Rita is a beautiful singer with an extraordinary voice. Music and romantic desire unites them, but their journey - in the tradition of the Latin ballad, the bolero - brings heartache and torment.

To see the trailer click here.

Out on general release 19th November 2010.
