Todos reconocen su obra. Nadie conoce al hombre.Cristóbal Balenciaga no se dejaba ver en sus desfiles ni salía jamás a saludar tras finalizarlos. Si hacemos caso a la leyenda, el diseñador vasco seguía con detalle los pases a través de un discreto agujero practicado en las cortinas de terciopelo que decoraban su mansión. Apenas existen retratos suyos, e incluso llegó a calar el rumor de que el hombre invisible de la alta costura no era más que una invención, una estrategia comercial elaborada con astucia. De lo que no cabe duda es de que «el mejor diseñador de todos los tiempos» -según reconocieron Christian Dior o Coco Chanel- antepuso siempre el prestigio a la fama y fue artífice de una obra inmortal, casi tan grande como el misterio que aún hoy envuelve su biografía. Este libro supone una original inmersión en una figura excepcional e irrepetible. María Fernández-Miranda se viste la piel del maestro y nos ofrece un retrato poliédrico en ocho escenas que dibujan con elegancia su geografía sentimental y creativa. Un mapa de paisajes, colores, tejidos y fragancias que nos conduce desde las empinadas calles de su Guetaria natal hasta las sofisticadas avenidas parisinas que protagonizaron la edad dorada de la alta costura, invitándonos a desvelar el enigma Balenciaga. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Everyone knows his work. Nobody knows the man.
Cristóbal Balenciaga never appeared at his fashion shows or came out to take a bow at the end. If the legends are to be believed, the famous Basque designer observed the proceedings through a discrete peephole in the thick velvet curtains that decorated his mansion. Few photos of him exist, and rumors have even circulated that the invisible man of the world of haute couture was an invented character, nothing more than a clever marketing strategy. Without a doubt, however, "the best designer of all time," as Christian Dior or Coco Chanel called him, was more concerned with prestige than fame. His creations are immortal, almost as great as the mystery that still surrounds his life. María Fernández-Miranda takes an original approach to an exceptional and one-of-a-kind figure. Taking on the guise of her subject, she paints a multifaceted portrait in eight scenes that illuminate his emotional and creative life. This book is a map of landscapes, colors, textiles and fragrances that take us from the hilly streets of his hometown of Getaria to the elegant Paris avenues of the golden age of high fashion, inviting us to discover the enigma that is Balenciaga.
