Fashion Nicolas Ghesquiere By Tom Ford Photography Craig Mcdean As a young unknown, Nicolas Ghesquière resuscitated the venerable House of Balenciaga, reinventing Cristóbal’s vision for the 21st century. By mixing Old World pieces with Parisian street style, he’s captured the hearts and minds of purists, while putting his mark on how women have dressed over the last decade, inspiring a generation to wear skyscraper heels, super-sized shoulders, skinny pants, technical fabrics, and a rainbow of lariat bags.
