Cristóbal Balenciaga is an upcoming Spanish biographical drama television series created by Aitor Arregi, Jon Garaño, Jose Mari Goenaga, and Lourdes Iglesias, and starring Alberto San Juan as the homonym fashion designer.[1][2]
Premise
In 1937, after a successful career with his ateliers in Madrid and San Sebastián dressing the Spanish elite and aristocracy, the designer Cristóbal Balenciaga made the international leap by presenting his first haute couture collection in Paris. However, the designs that set trends in Spain did not work in the sophisticated fashion empire that Paris had become, where Chanel, Dior and Givenchy were the benchmark for haute couture. Guided by his obsession for control in all aspects of his life, Balenciaga would define his style to become one of the greatest designers in history.[1]
