“Balenciaga is an artist. Just as you ask
Picasso what inspires a painting,

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,720
you can ask the man who turned
clothing into an art form

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,240
how he came up with a collar.”
Prudence Glynn

00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,720
This series is inspired by the thirty
years Cristóbal Balenciaga spent in Paris,

5

to becoming the king of haute couture.

9
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,240
(IN SPANISH) Nicolás suggested
adding more shareholders.

12

of terrible quality.

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,920
Publishing sketches
fuels these fraudulent copies.

14
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,360
We have to stop the fashion magazines.

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,720
(IN FRENCH) I'm Hubert de Givenchy.

16
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,800
I'm thinking of launching
a line of prêt-à-porter.

17
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,520
Instead of being copied, I'll copy myself.

18
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:53,440
Cristóbal gave me as a gift
a portrait of me by Cassandre.

19

press shows for a month.

21
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,800
-You're playing with my money!
-Then I'll give it to you!

22

(IN BASQUE) Goodbye, Cristóbal.

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,760
(IN FRENCH) I want to create a fabric.
A fabric that's only for me.

25
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,920

You have no idea. He's so talented.

30

-Look at that.
-WOMAN: Unbelievable.

31

MARCHIONESS: He loves dresses.

32
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,080
He spent the whole summer
inside my dressing room.

33
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,320
His mother fixes my dresses, and he helps.

34
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,560
One day he asked permission
to copy one of my dresses,

35
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,080
and just look at it. What do you think?

36
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,440
It's amazing.

37
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,280
-Do you like it, Cristóbal?
-Yes.

45
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,600
CRISTÓBAL: And the weight of the bow

46
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,160
in the front helps balance the dress.

But a lot of people did, apparently.

55

But you can't deny that with Dior gone,

56
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,560
you became the absolute king.

If there were any doubts left,

58

the international press crowned you
as the Grand Master of High Fashion.

59
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,960
That's exaggerating.

PRUDENCE: It's what they wrote
and said. You can't deny it.

61
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,200
What I can say is
that my partner Nicolás was gone,

62

70

The silk threads have been twisted twice.

82

It's malleable and can add volume
without needing more weight.

but the fabric as well?

With the Gazar, it felt as if the dress
was completely mine.
