Balenciaga by Nicholas Ghesquière FW2003 Fleece Blouson
Balenciaga by Nicholas Ghesquière FW2003 Fleece Blouson
Nicholas Ghesquière spent a 12-year term creating some of the most influential designs at Balenciaga. Prior to inheriting the creative director position, he had worked for the Jean Paul Gaultier label in his early twenties. At only 22-years old he took over the helm of the dying Balenciaga brand, surpassing Helmut Lang as a potential candidate for the position. In Ghesquière’s first collection (SS1998), he captured a balance between the minimalism of the late 90s and the eclectic taste of couture fashion. A monochromatic color palette was brought to life by the use of new and intriguing shapes made of advanced jersey materials and technical synthetic fibers. These dramatic lines that Ghesquière drew have set precedence to future design under the Balenciaga name.
This kelly green fleece top is cut in a raglan shape with sleeves that meet at a mandarin collar. Snap buttons enclose a frontal flap over the zip closure. The underarms have experienced a minor loss of fleece fabric.
Marked size S (please refer to measurements):
Shoulder: Raglan
Pit: 52cm
Fr. Length: 62cm
Sleeve: 82cm (from top collar)
