Retro Balenciaga in your closet?


Owning a Balenciaga Forties evening gown or fitted top will soon be attainable for fashion devotees who shop at Le Bon Marché in Paris. Another collection of Balenciaga Edition, a selection of clothes carefully chosen from couturier Cristobal Balenciaga’s original designs, will go on sale exclusively at the department store from Sept. 11 until Oct. 5. Balenciaga Edition launched in 2004 with six interpretations of archival designs, as a pre-fall collection. This year, 19 pieces dating between 1932 and 1967 will be revived and reinterpreted using modern techniques. Le Bon Marché will also showcase Balenciaga-designed jewelry from the same era as part of the collection.
