Culture seeks information about Balenciaga's experiences in Xàbia
The next year 2022, the 50th anniversary of the death of the well-known couturier, Cristóbal Balenciaga, will be commemorated. One of the great references of couture died in Xàbia and for this reason, the City Council wants to remember this outstanding figure in the history of Spanish fashion.
To pay tribute to Balenciaga and review his relationship with Xàbia, the Department of Culture, in close collaboration with the Gipuzkoan photographer Pedro Usabiaga and his team, is preparing an exhibition project on the couturier that will take place next summer in the art rooms municipal.
The exhibition curator is collecting as much information as possible about the seasons that Balenciaga spent in the town in order to reflect it on the project and enrich it at the local level. In this way, an appeal is made to the older population of the area that may have known or had a relationship with the couturier in those years.
Any related information can be sent to the email cultura@ajxabia.org and they will contact you to deepen it.
