Balenciaga
REVIEW
COMPLETE COLLECTION
PARIS, October 7, 1999
By
Nicholas Ghesquière continued his revival of the silhouettes Balenciaga pioneered in the '50s, and brought them up to speed (which, in this season, means going back to the '80s). Loose sack-dresses, sweaters and coats with dolman sleeves, as well as pleated pants tapered at the bottom, predominated; but there were also preppy, slim trousers with matching long-sleeved shirts and blazers. The palette was restrained for the most part: Plum, beige, and navy were the main colors.
