From his very first collections introduced in Paris, Crist\u00f3bal Balenciaga\u2019s creations surprised onlookers with the intense black that perfectly fit his brand new lines. \u201cIn the beginning in Paris it wasn\u2019t the cut of his garments that was most noticed but their color, black (\u2026)\u201d. \u201cA deep and Spanish black, like velvet, like a night without stars,\u201d said&nbsp;<i>Vogue&nbsp;<\/i>and&nbsp;<i>Harper\u2019s Bazaar<\/i>. Balenciaga\u2019s work is the result of strong Hispanic influences. This artist that fled the Spanish Civil War took care to inject his cultural heritage into rich compositions that were surprisingly simple. Everything bears witness to a desire to eliminate the superfluous, to construct then deconstruct each style, each sleeve, and then take everything back to square one. Simplicity was for him the quintessence of chic, and so the couturier found a chromatic expression of his art in black. Balenciaga extracted this color directly from the folkloric and traditional Spain of his childhood.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">But in his hands, black becomes a fabric of its own. This extraordinary technician worked purity into brand new structural lines. In the early 50s, he imagined barrel lines, balloon lines, and semi-tailored lines before dazzling his clients with tunic lines and his legendary bag dress composed in 1957. Whether opaque or transparent, matte or shiny, black elevates these fabrics and perfects the visual simplicity of the cuts. With black, this \u201ccouturier of couturiers\u201d seems to cultivate \u201cthe infinite possibilities and transformations\u201d of the garment, awakening unexpected aspects of these fabrics. Like gazar, a fabric specially produced for the brand, or <a href=\"http:\/\/icon-vrai.loc\/fr\/mode-et-accessoires\/pret-porter\/la-dentelle-letoffe-phare-de-balenciaga\">lace<\/a>, Balenciaga\u2019s favorite material, inspired by Goya\u2019s portraits of Queen Maria Luisa. Black is everywhere, strong and magnificent. But while black holds a special place in Balenciaga\u2019s work, it also leaves room for white and red, two of the label\u2019s other favorite colors. These inspirations brought Christian Dior to say that \u201cclothing was his religion\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Crist\u00f3bal Balenciaga sought to modernize women\u2019s wardrobes without ever abandoning glamour and propriety. With different textures, this architecture of clothing accentuated shapes to compose unique clothing. \u201cBlack is the color of style, of modernity, of restraint, of intellectualism, of mourning, of sensualism,\u201d explained Karen Van Godtsenhoven, curator of the Mus\u00e9e de la Mode in Anvers. This is why different creative directors after him sought to work with color in all its intensity. Alexander Wang and his architectural reading of this heritage is one exampl. The latest is Denna Gvasalia. This dressmaker composed a collection for Fall\/Winter 2017 where black embraces and lights up shapes and fabrics. A nod to the founder for the brand\u2019s 100th anniversary, look #45 in the runway demonstrates this couture imagined for another modernity. The piece was worn by equally legendary model Alek Wek. In short, it\u2019s a collection where black becomes a reference to better perfect the power of the volumes initiated by the founder of Balenciaga.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the secret chromatic field of chic.
