Nicolas Ghesquiere, Balenciaga

I decided to challenge myself with this next post, and show 1 to 2 favorite looks that Nicolas has created for Balenciaga from 2001 until now, per season. Although he came on as creative director in 1997, when Gucci Group acquired Balenciaga. 

Here are the picks. 

Fall 2001 

Spring 2002 

This was a hard one there were many good looks in this show. 

Fall 2002

Spring 2003 

Fall 2003

Another tough one, there were many pieces that I loved, especially the jackets. A great essential piece like outer-wear, is essential after all. Also I think this a turning point for Ghesquiere, more structure, and tailoring, in his innovative style. 

Spring 2004

Fall 2004 

The boots in this collection were fucking sick. By now Pierre Hardy is already been on board, with the shoe game. 

Spring 2005

Really nice color palette in this collection, mainly this navy blue, with lots of white and dashes of cream here and there. I think the muted tones helps you focus on the details more. 

Fall 2005

The almost pastel green is a really beautiful color for the fall. 

Spring 2006 

This was a sexy one. There's way to make lace look sick, Nicolas does it effortlessly. 

Fall 2006 

Not my favorite, for reasons of knowing that I wouldn't really wear a lot of the pieces, but I really like this nautical theme. 

Spring 2007 

The famous collection of the C3PO leggings. Suffice it to say, I couldn't just pick two looks for this one.  

The man. 

Fall 2007

Another amazing one, and as you can see this is a bit of a challenge! How can you just pick one?

Spring 2008 

Again I asked myself, wear am I going? Really? But all-in-all you cannot take anything away from the way Ghesquiere designs. 

Fall 2008 (To Date)

Thats all folks. What more can I say, except that Cristobal would be proud.
