Far from an ordinary fashion compendium, this volume transcends the ordinary. With its edge printing extending the design of the cover — which is perfectly in register — the reader is offered a visual journey that begins before the pages are even opened. Swiss binding — a technique seldom explored but very modern — elevates this tome into a work of contemporary art. Every aspect of this book reflects the ethos of Balenciaga, pushing boundaries and redefining what's possible.











We expected a printing and binding solution that would truly reflect the avant-garde nature of our work. What we received was a masterpiece that seamlessly extended our design to the edges, like we do in our collections
