Balenciaga Runway Structured Dress

Balenciaga 2008 F/W collection in which Nicolas Ghesquiere displayed his talent by combining high-tech modern fashion with the Balenciaga archives of the 1950's. The result is a very special runway collection showcasing smooth, molded ultra-modern synthetic designs with a 2lst century flair. This black and creme dress boasts a silk, highly constructured bodice with a skirt of black neoprene scuba-style material manipulated and twisted into various level surfaces. The result is an imaginative, highly constructed new kind of couture evening dress. Black satin bow at waist. High thigh slit; and interior stretch straps to secure dress in place. Dramatic and sexy. Highly wearable, highly collectible, highly exhibitable. Beautifully tailored, weighty and very substantial.
