BALENCIAGA TV SERIES
ON FAMOUS SPANISH DESIGNER
We already had a series on Gianni Versache, we're getting Ewan McGregor one on Halston, and now we will get a TV series on famous Spanish fashion designer CRISTOBAL BALENCIAGA from Viacom CBS and Testament of
Youth director James Kent.

| The series will be done at CBS International |
The series will depict the life of Balenciaga, who helped lead a revolution in fashion, with his precision and perfectionism earning him the admiration of contemporaries, including Christian Dior, Hubert de Givenchy, and Coco Chanel. In 1917, at the age of 22, he established his first fashion house in San Sebastian, and later opened fashion houses in Madrid and Barcelona, before moving to Paris in 1937, where his work won the admiration of an influential cosmopolitan clientèle. In the 1950s, Balenciaga unveiled never-before-seen styles and shapes, which were considered radical designs at
the time. As you remember, the same studio is also preparing a series on Italian female artist Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the most accomplished painters in the Baroque period!
