Marie-Anderee JouveBalenciaga

デザイナーバレンシアガを知る上で、素晴らしい一冊と思います。

While overall this is an excellent book and a wonderful resource, its a little heavy on his early work (30s and 40s) and a little light on his later work (50s and 60s). Creatively, to me, it seems he broke more ground in his later work but the book glosses over alot of that. Still, I'm SO pleased with the book. The photos are wonderful and pictorially tell a story of how Balenciaga evolved both as a designer and as a businessman, - and the book isn't shy about his faults and shortcomings, either, which is refreshing. A good book to have for any serious student of fashion.
