A while ago we bought a beautiful picture book in Art Museum The Hague about the famous Haute Couture fashion designer Christóbal Balenciaga. The book was written and illustrated by Sanne te Loo and it is a lovely book. The story begins when Christóbal is still a little boy and he sees his mother sewing on beautiful dresses for a very wealthy lady.
Christóbal Balenciaga becomes the most important couturier of his time, a Master! He lived from 1875 to 1972 and his work had a major influence on the famous couteriers who came after him. Both Christiaan Dior and Coco Chanel were great admirers of his fashion.
