Runway : Balenciaga Pre-Fall 2009 Collection
At Balenciaga, pre-fall is Nicolas Ghesquière's laboratory—a chance to elaborate on ideas proposed in his runway collections and an opportunity to test the waters with new ones. Walking editors through his 28-look lineup—a mix of Edition archival updates, items from the lower-priced Capsule range, and pieces that he said were a good indication of the direction he was taking for Fall—Ghesquière pointed out the "French element" in nude silk blouses. >> vogue.com
