As the Couture Season launches itself upon Paris this week, showcasing the looks no-one would really dare to wear this Spring and Summer, it is worth noting that two of the greatest couturiers of all time were both born on 21st January (yesterday), a mere ten years apart.
For it is 115 years since the birth of Cristobal Balenciaga, the Spanish couturier celebrated for his "classic design elegance and dramatic simplicity".
It is also 105 years ago that Christian Dior, the most influential of all fashion designers of the mid 20th century and creator of the revolutionary "New Look", was born.
There is only one way to celebrate this fashionable coincidence surely?
Happy Friday! Enjoy...
