Details
La obra de Cristóbal Balenciaga era una explosión de elegancia, excelencia, belleza, innovación y un canto a la elaboración artesana y exclusiva. Representa como pocos la modernidad basada en la tradición, a la que se llega a través del trabajo meticuloso. Toda una creación artística. Javier Echeverría Sola y Nerea Pallares dialogarán sobre esta forma de elaboración que es capaz de detener el tiempo, como se puedo ver en la exposición Cristóbal Balenciaga | Shoes from Spain Tribute, de la que Echeverría fue su comisario. Pallares es una escritora cuyas novelas y relatos descansan en la exploración poética de la delicadeza, el gesto manual y las formas de creación ligadas a lo íntimo y lo artesanal. Su escritura reivindica una idea de la belleza vinculada a la atención, la lentitud y el trabajo cuidadoso de las manos. El evento estará moderado por Enrique de Santiago, Senior Project Manager en Loewe.
