El traje desvela la historia de esta prenda desde su aparición en Europa occidental a finales del siglo XVII hasta nuestros días. Figuras como el caballero de Savile Row y el hombre de negocios de Wall Street han encarnado durante mucho tiempo ideas de tradicion, masculinidad, poder y respetabilidad, pero el traje tambien se ha utilizado para trastocar conceptos de genero y conformidad. Adoptado y subvertido por mujeres, artistas, musicos y revolucionarios sociales a lo largo de las decadas, el traje es tambien un dispositivo para desafiar el statu quo.

Todos reconocen su obra. Nadie conoce al hombre. Cristóbal Balenciaga no se dejaba ver en sus desfiles ni salía jamás a saludar tras finalizarlos. Si hacemos caso a la leyenda, el diseñador vasco seguia con detalle los pases a traves de un discreto agujero practicado en las cortinas de terciopelo que decoraban su maison. Apenas existen retratos suyos, e incluso llego a calar el rumor de que el hombre invisible de la alta costura no era mas que una invencion, una estrategia comercial elaborada con astucia. De lo que no cabe duda es de que el mejor diseñador de todos los tiempos -segun reconocieron Christian Dior o Coco Chanel- antepuso siempre el prestigio a la fama y fue artifice de una obra inmortal, casi tan grande como el misterio que aun hoy envuelve su biografia. Este libro supone una original inmersion en una figura excepcional e irrepetible. Maria Fernandez-Miranda se viste la piel del maestro y nos ofrece un retrato poliedrico en ocho escenas que dibujan con elegancia su geografia sentimental y creativa. Un mapa de paisajes, colores, tejidos y fragancias que nos conduce desde las empinadas calles de su Guetaria natal hasta las sofisticadas avenidas parisinas que protagonizaron la edad dorada de la alta costura, invitandonos a desvelar el enigma Balenciaga.
