The shape of things to come

I saw a lot of sculptural shapes in the outerwear during this round of fashion weeks. No-one ever treated clothing as sculpture better than Cristobal Balenciaga, a skill that has revered and enhanced with the era of Nicolas Ghesquiere.

To close the Fall 2011 show he sent out coats that are re-workings from an original Balenciaga design from 1965. In today's fabrics with Ghesquiere's hand tracing the work of "the master of us all", they sing.
