"Nicolas Ghesquière is a very symptomatic fashion character of the present time. His trajectory is very representative of what has happened in the fashion industry during the last decade. Powerful fashion groups have invested in dying or forgotten fashion brands in buying them. They then have appointed fashion designers to be creative directors of those brands. With in this brand new creative context Nicolas Ghesquière has managed to express his genius vision of fashion by reactivating this old fashion couture. In its glorious days it was inhabited by Cristobal Balenciaga an other genius of fashion. Dealing with history has been an ongoing topic during the past ten years in the fashion world. Also during the first years, M/M (paris) were involved in the creation of the new image of Balenciaga. The image of the shoe is a tribute to those mythic days"
