Y*o様 Balenciaga Paris Tailored

This is a tailored jacket from BALENCIAGA by Nicolas Ghesquière.

The tailoring that Nicolas Ghesquière created at Balenciaga was more than just craftsmanship; it was the most symbolic representation of his innovative vision.
The appeal of Ghesquière's tailoring era lies in its fusion of the couture techniques established by founder Cristóbal Balenciaga with Ghesquière's futuristic sensibilities and sportswear elements.

・Reinterpretation of Structured Silhouettes: Based on the three-dimensional, sculptural forms pursued by Cristóbal, Ghesquière extensively employed fluid, flowing lines that followed the body, as well as asymmetrical cuts. These created a dynamic and futuristic impression, setting them apart from traditional, rigid tailored jackets.

・Adoption of Innovative Materials: He skillfully incorporated sporty materials, unusual at the time, such as jersey and neoprene, into elegant coats and jackets. This presented a new form of luxury that balanced luxury with practicality and comfort.
Ghesquière's tailoring era simultaneously expressed classic and avant-garde, and even after his departure, it continues to influence many designers.

I am reluctant to part with it, but I am selling it because it does not fit me and I wear it infrequently.
