For Balenciaga, black, more than a colour or even a non-colour, is something vibrant, opaque or transparent in turn, matt or shiny, enhancing both the sumptuousness of fabrics and the apparent simplicity of cuts. Black, a source for Balenciaga, who found the roots of his inspiration in the Spain of his childhood. Black, for hundreds of designs presented in this exhibition : chic couture ! Until July 16th, Musée Bourdelle, 18 rue Antoine Bourdelle, Paris 15 (01 49 54 73 73).
