		So flattering were Balenciaga's creations that women often ordered more than one of each design so that they could wear one while the other was being cleaned or so they could keep one at each of their houses.
		Balenciaga was a perfectionist and insisted that his garments be perfect before they were released to his customers.
		In 1956, Balenciaga presented a loose dress unflatteringly called the sack (which anticipated the 1960s sheath dress) and created his distinctive asymmetric look by raising the hemlines at the front and dropping them low at the back of dresses and coats.

		CristÃ³bal Balenciaga, the most influential designer of his time and the most admired creator of fashion which this century has seen, took fashion to new heights of talent and creativity.
		Just as painters and sculptors had done before him, Balenciaga travelled to Paris, where he opened a fashion house in Georges V Avenue in 1937, the year in which he unveiled his first Parisian collection.
		In the words of Hubert de Givenchy, one of the principal merits of Balenciaga's designs was that he created ânot only a style but a technique â; something which he mastered perfectly, from design to cut and finally, to the execution of his designs.

		The single-breasted coat, cut from three panels, has three self-covered buttons; a square turndown collar at the jewel neckline; three-quarter-length sleeves; and a diagonal standing pocket at each hip.
		Balenciaga is the preeminent tailor of couture, much as Vionnet might be described as the greatest dressmaker of modern couture.

	A ROMA UNA MOSTRA DEDICATA A CRISTOBAL BALENCIAGA
		Cristobal Balenciaga, spagnolo, in realtà basco fin nel midollo, nato a Getaria, piccolo paese di pescatori (e lui era figlio di un pescatore) che aspetta - e forse non invano - un museo dedicato al "figlio" divenuto maestro internazionale di eleganza, raffinatezza ed innovazione.
		Una piccola ma più che eloquente mostra- curata dall'architetto cubano Julian Argilagos - che ha il merito di riassumere le innovazioni di Balenciaga che negli anni '60 (molti capi in mostra appartengono a quel decennio) in un certo senso riassunse quanto già sperimentato nei due decenni precedenti.
		Tonalità vive ripetute nei pois dell'abito con il caratteristico fiocco Balenciaga, i rosa oppure i gialli che interpretano i lunghi bordati di piume di struzzo.
