Concise story of Cristobal Balenciaga

This is a great book for those interested in knowing the career of Balenciaga.Marie Andrée Jouvre had already written a larger edition on the topic, a book callled "Balenciaga", published in 1988. She shows she really understands what she is talking about.What I liked most about this book is that it gives a general overview of the work of this master, including some high quality pictures of his most famous dresses.And for those who really prefer pictures, this is the book for you. The written part is really small, yet effective.
