Balenciaga at the Musée Bourdelle
The new retrospective of Balenciaga fashion at the incantatory Musée Bourdelle focuses on the Noir - and that gave the curators a lot to consider. The show is not as well installed as the previous retro of Madame Gres but the enchanting sculpture and bric a brac of the sculptor whose studio this was make a perfect backdrop for the draping and bias cut of the very contemporary looking dresses and suits.
