From July 1, Xàbia will start the Balenciaga century event with which it will pay tribute to the fashion designer Cristóbal Balenciaga. This summer, the municipality will offer a great cultural program that will revolve around the most international master of haute couture, since Xàbia was one of his most common places of disconnection and where he died 50 years ago.
Program of activities of The Balenciaga Century
That Friday, July 20, at 00:XNUMX p.m., in the Plaça de l'Església, the opening ceremony of the exhibition cycle will take place. It will be attended by the curators of the exhibitions, the participants in the symposium to be held on Saturday and the local authorities.
Sample of designs
With this act will begin the monographic exhibition that will cover its origins, its years of splendor and the legacy it left in fashion, which is still alive and well today. The exhibition, curated by Pedro Usabiaga, will be available from the same 1 30 July to September, in the exhibition halls Soler Blasco Museum, the Lambert Center for the Arts and the Casa del Cable. There will be cocktail dresses, afternoon and evening pieces, as well as two wedding dresses, coats, hats and accessories. Most of them donated from private collections, little known and that cannot usually be seen in museums.
Conference 'Cristóbal Balenciaga, work and legacy 1972-2022'
As for the symposium "Cristóbal Balenciaga, work and legacy 1972-2022", which will be held on Saturday 2 of July at the Parador Nacional, different voices linked to the world of fashion will address the figure of Balenciaga. From Pedro Usabiaga to Amalia Descalzo, Mariu Emilias, Javier Martín and Ramón Tabares Ozcariz, Lola Gavarrón or the well-known designer Lorenzo Caprile.
The day includes a round table and a debate moderated by Lydia García in which Pedro Usabiaga, Mariu Emilas, Ramón Tabares Ozcariz, Elena Iribarren and Miguel Cardona (who was the Balenciaga driver during his stays in Xàbia) will participate.
All acts of the cycle will be without prior reservation and free of charge, and the complete program can be consulted in the brochures already available both in the House of Culture as in the tourism offices and in the rooms where the exhibition will take place.
Other commemorative acts in Xàbia
Other appointments in the program are the projection on July 14 at the Jayan cinema of the film "The invisible thread"; ajornate about the designer in Jessica Bataille's studio on 5 August; or the concert "The sound of its two shores" on Friday September 23 with music from the Basque and Mediterranean coasts performed by the soprano Teresa Albero and the pianist Jesús Gómez.
Who likes fashion is a reference. I will see her again.
Come on! that more people come to Jávea!!!
There is room in the background!
More promotion, more, missing tourists!!!!!
The two local agents that we have, will they be at the door of this event?
I say to know if I board up the doors and windows of my house, it happened that the thieves this summer steal it from me.
Greetings to all of the City Council, how nice you are.
Do you know how the issue of noise regulations is this summer?
Are they going to be extended and there will be a stronger hand against those who disturb the peace in urbanizations and incivic actions or will it be the summer of chaos and insecurity?
As a resident of Jávea, it seems to me an insult to dedicate my money in taxes to these things, when we have serious deficiencies of all kinds in our municipality.
A total lack of knowledge of our shortcomings, a typical flight forward of the ignorance in management that they have been displaying for more than ten years.
We are insulted and crushed, the deterioration of Jávea is allowed, WHY?
Because they want to sell it cheap to speculate with it again.
Because that way they earn more money and dedicate it to unimportant things, leaving aside all the shortcomings that we suffer throughout the year.
