Ghesquiere's homage to Cristobal's volume exploration will
continue to remain key to his success at the house- this season
he plays with umbrella skirts and balloon shorts, however
the way Ghesquiere continues to amazes me is in the execution
of material choice to emphaise volume..... a very clever man.

Nicolas Ghesquiere's fall collection for balenciaga was
dramatic in its proportions and volumes, with subtle
contrasts  on lapelles, shoulders and knees. The volumes
are signifcant in Cristobal's original aesthetics and are
to me the success fo this collection as unlike Cristobal
Ghesquiere has furthered it with techniques such as
quilting and weaving.

Nicolas Ghesquiere's fall collection heels are very much
a statement piece similar to all his previous collections the
heels are integral to the look. These heels again play with
amplifying and texture, he draws attention to the material
by the multiple straps moving up the arch of the foot he
then contrasts the ankle strap. The shape I find is quite
unique for Ghesquiere as his previous shoes have been
androgynous with ideas of mens shoes mixed womens,
this however is elegantly feminine with its fine heel and
elongated almond toe.

Nicolas Ghesquiere's fall collection for balenciaga focused
on texture and proportion in an attempt to dramatize and
amplify the affect of texture, the bags succeeded in this
intent with dramatic weaves and layering of materials.

Nicholas Ghesquiere's pre-fall colleciton is is both feminine
and masculine with some of the collection playing with violet
and sapphire blue indian floral prints and the remaining part
of the collection manipulating the houses' signature volumes
with sharp tones of red, blacks and whites. Ofcourse as a
fashion devotee I favour the more traditional references
Ghesquire makes to Cristobal's work and how he continues
to stay true to the house and evolve with each collection.

nicholas ghesquière describes his resort collection for balenciaga as a "techno boheme" however I would describe it as 'modern retro' as this collection resonates with a 60's retro colour palette, tailoring and geometric prints. It is a very typical backward forward approach for the house of cristobal balenciaga. All in all a fun and playful resort collection
