Balenciaga’s Archive is Up For Grabs at Maxfield… For A Limited Time
LOS ANGELES–Installed on mannequins throughout Maxfield’s floor yesterday were iconic Balenciaga pieces from decades past. There was a sari gown marking the store’s entryway, and more than a dozen dresses and jackets crafted by the French fashion house’s namesake, Cristobal Balenciaga, during the late 1950s and 1960s. Part of Balenciaga Edition–a line of recreations (down to an exact button or stitch) of classic ensembles made between the years 1954-1968–the garments on hand were priced between $1,800-$27,000.
