The great Spanish couturier Cristobal Balenciaga, considered a pivotal influence on 20th century fashion, amassed a vast personal archive which has never gone on public show until now, 40 years after his death.
The eclectic collection of documents, costumes, fragments of material,
even dolls' clothes, was bequeathed to the Musee Galliera, the Paris
fashion museum, in 1979 and had lain in its vaults ever since.
