CRISTOBAL BALENCIAGA SERIES

New series arrives January 19th

DISNEY PLUS FASHION SAGA

Today, his fashion house is a symbol of absolute trash and absurd fashion garbage and he is most probably turning in his grave, sadly, but there were days when CRISTOBAL BALENCIAGA and his name were a symbol of innovative high style and elegance. January 19th is bringing us Spanish six episode mini TV series which will give us a chronicle of the rise of designer Cristóbal Balenciaga from humble origins to fashion icon. Alberto San Juan plays the designer with Patrice Thibaud as Christian Dior, Anne Victorie Olivier as Audrey Hepburn and Anouk Grinberg as Coco Chanel.

 FROM RAGS TO RICHES

 When the designer presents his first haute couture collection in Paris in 1937, behind him is a successful career in his workshops in Madrid and San Sebastián dressing the Spanish elite and aristocracy. However, the designs that set trends in Spain do not quite work in the sophisticated fashion empire that Paris has become, where Chanel, Dior and Givenchy are the benchmark of haute couture. Guided by his obsession with control in all aspects of his life, Cristóbal Balenciaga will define his style and end up becoming one of the most important designers of all time. Using his natural talent, strong work ethic and sharp nose for business, Cristóbal Balenciaga goes on to become one of the most prominent fashion designers of all time. Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think.

ON THE FAMOUS DESIGNER

After last year's Halston, we now have two more mini series in production about famous fashion designers: beside The New Look Apple series about Dior and Chanel with Juliette Binoche, Ben Mendelhson, John Malkovich and Emily Mortimer in the cast, we also have Disney Plus  Spanish language series BALENCIAGA for which I have first photos for you today. Currently shooting with a team of 100 professionals and 2,000 extras, it tells the story of the famous designer: a man who, through his natural talent, perseverance and business acumen, dared to challenge his social status as the  son of a seamstress and a fisherman, becoming one of the most relevant designers of all times. Born in Guetaria, Guipúzcoa, in 1895, Cristóbal Balenciaga Eizaguirre (played by Alberto San Juan), known in the world and in history as Balenciaga, is considered one of the most important creators of haute couture, who carried out his work mainly in the city of Paris for more  than three decades. Before his work in the French capital he worked for various own brands in Spain. Died in 1972, he is considered the most important designer of Spanish high fashion. The six part series will also show his search for identity in the face of adversity and the challenge of social conventions over the years. He was obsessed with finding his own style among the voices that judged his work and with the loneliness that comes with being an artist! The rest of the cast will include Belén Cuesta as Fabiola de Mora y Aragón before becoming Queen of Belgium, Patrice Thibaud as designer Christian Dior. Gabrielle Lazure as Carmel Snow, the fashion director of Harper’s Bazaar. Gemma Whelan is Prudence Glynn, a journalist for The Times.Isabel Bres is the designer Jeanne Lanvin.
