Balenciaga and Haute Couture: Slow Fashion
NEW
Haute Couture, garments made by hand, crafted using exclusive and exquisite materials, can be considered, from their outset, as the highest expression of a non-perishable fashion. In these times when slow fashion is gaining strength, this visit proposes a return to earlier concepts, still valid today, to reflect on the fast, seasonal and mass consumption of today’s fashion.
