First big decision

So luckily the first big decision I've had to make while at the program has been to choose a fashion house I'd want to research – one that's been around for more than fifty years, and has had a well-documented history. A lot of the other students immediately thought of Chanel or Yves Saint Laurent and the like. But while I love their designs, those brands never really spoke to me. In all honesty, I never knew much of Cristobal Balenciaga, but I knew that a lot of people always 'ooh-ed' and 'ahh-ed' when speaking of it, and coincidentally enough I knew its shapes spoke to me. It's more recent ad campaigns have also intrigued me, so I took a leap. Over the next two weeks I'll be researching the designer, his work, the brand and its contemporary place in the fashion world today. Wish me luck!
