Rizzoli is releasing a beautiful hardcover book curated by Hamish Bowles in April 2011 entitled Balenciaga and Spain. The book is filled with illustrations, photographs, past covers and fashion editorials of Cristobal Balenciaga‘s designs. The publication is timed with the exhibition’s move from the Queen Sophia Institute in NYC, to the de Young Museum in San Francisco from March 26th through July 4th and explores Spain’s heavy influence on the designer. It’s so easy to forget the roots of these amazing design houses but luckily there has been a slew of amazing historical books lately to remind us of where these legendary names come from. Love it.
