BALENCIAGA IN BLACK
Although legendary Spanish designer Cristóbal Balenciaga may have died in 1972, his eponymous label continues to leave its mark on the global runways. Fast forward to 2018, and a new fashion tome exploring Balenciaga’s contributions to couture arrives on shelves on October 2.

Whether you love your LBD or simply adore couture, you’ll find the book a fascinating read this fall. Rizzoli
