Evening White Swept with Red, by Balenciaga

Here: about as much beauty as can be fitted between lines. You could describe this look as nothing but satin-and-seams--but, because the seams are by Balenciaga, this is the result: a flawless figure in white satin with a simple neckline, wide shoulder straps, a skirt swung to the back. The red velvet stole, and important independent fashion--and a beautiful one with white. Photographed on the Escalier des Ambassadeurs, Versailles.
