Balenciaga,
This review is from: Balenciaga Fashion Review (Paperback)
Being a great admirer of Balenciaga's work, I really enjoyed seeing his creations drawn by Tom Tierney. The illustrations are lovely.
Balenciaga was renowned for his sparing use of color (he used a lot of black), and Tom Tierney has changed a number of the designs from their original sombre colors into bright ones (eg the "cabbage" cape is drawn in red, but it was actually black, the 1949 pink gown was origainally a subdued chestnut brown, etc). I was also disappointed by the omission of details (like pockets, buttons, etc) in some illustrations, which are clearly visible in photos of the designs in books about Balenciaga.
