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.
