The entire body of Cristóbal Balenciaga’s work was an explosion of elegance, excellence, beauty and innovation, and a celebration of exclusive craftsmanship. He epitomises, like few others, modernity rooted in tradition, achieved through meticulous craftsmanship. The result can be none other than an artistic creation. This event will explore this form of craftsmanship capable of standing time still, as seen last year in the exhibition Cristóbal Balenciaga | Shoes from Spain Tribute; its curator, Javier Echeverría Sola, will speak with Nerea Pallares, whose novels and short stories are rooted in a poetic exploration of delicacy, manual dexterity and forms of creation linked to the intimate and the artisanal. Her latest book, Punto de araña, she brought the lace-makers of Camariñas to the centre of the story. las palilleiras de Camariñas.Her writing champions an idea of beauty tied to attention, slowness and the careful work of the hands. The event will be moderated by Enrique de Santiago, senior project manager at Loewe.
After the event, the author will be signing copies of her books
