| The Red Coat |
During the 50's those with enough money to be wearing Balenciaga were not necessarily young. To please his clientele, Cristóbal Balenciaga accentuated the assets older ladies possessed. 'Often with age comes thick waists or necks, but the wrist is the last to go'. He pioneered the 7/8 length (or bracelet) sleeve which made the wrist look delicate and drew attention there. He also lowered the waist in the back to create a beautiful curve in the back.
