1950s Numbered Haute Couture Black Balenciaga Jacket
You can never go wrong with a perfectly made little black jacket and this stupendous Haute Coutre Balenciaga example is perhaps the epitome of that statement. Balenciaga has gone down in history as being one of the great Masters of couture and was known in particular for his sculptural approach. His pieces look quite simple initially but once one looks at the construction and techniques used to create this illusion of simplicity you realize the complexity behind the design. Made of a textured black wool, the jacket has soft rounded shoulders and a boxy cut. It is cut generously through the body with a nod to the exaggerated proportions of the time. It is finished with domed jet black buttons at the front. It is made to Haute Couture standards with every stitch hand done. This is true Haute Couture and early examples of his work in this condition are exceedingly hard to find. A true treasure. Excellent condition
