Collection after collection, NICOLAS GHESQUIÈRE is proving himself to be the most brilliant young designer of his generation. Constantly exploring new concepts and developing new ideas, he seems able to daringly reinvent Balenciaga’s aesthetic, while paradoxically staying true to its heritage.

This summer collection was one of his most radical and conceptual. He combined elaborate, maybe even excessive, floral patterns with organic futuristic cuts and silhouettes — which looks like aristocratic sportswear — to accentuate the power of women. We employed the Proust questionnaire for a more personal conversation with Nicolas.
