For Font, beauty, in all its splendour, produces restlessness and even uneasiness, but it is perhaps for this reason that it also generates the energy to continue reaching for it without stopping. The architectural construction, the play of volumes and the ornamentation of the fabrics are hallmarks of her work.
The exhibition brings together some of his most relevant creations for prêt-à-porter and haute couture throughout more than two decades of production. And within the framework of the Cristóbal Balenciaga Museum, it also aims to influence the multiple connections that can be established between the Catalan designer and the Master of Getaria.
Josep Font: Beauty and Restlessness is on show at the Cristóbal Balenciaga Museoa until 7 January 2024.
