wanderlust: london - balenciaga: shaping fashion @ v&a museum


title

If you are a fan of Balenciaga, do check out its specially curated fashion exhibition at Victoria and Albert museum from now until the 18th February 2018. One of the most celebrated Spanish designers; Cristóbal Balenciaga founded his fashion house in 1919 in Sab Sebastian, Spain. It is believed that he was a genius who revolutionized the concept of dressing and the female silhouette. In this exhibition, you have the opportunity to see his beautiful work.

If you wish to fully immerse yourself into the fashion world of Balenciaga, plan a visit to its museum in Getaria, his hometown. It is on my list and hope I will be able to visit someday in the future.

Have a great weekend and stay chic!
