Very enjoyable and exciting series.

I found the series about the life of Cristobal Balenciaga very entertaining.

The struggle to become the king of high fashion, the genius craftman and visionary artist, and the end of the maison are parts of the series .

I enjoyed the way the deeper elements of his character unfold.

I enjoyed the acting and directing I think some parts could be more "dramatised" for entertaining purposes similar to the "genius" series but maybe it was better this way to match the contained and disciplined character of Cristobal.

I strongly recommend the series not only to fashion enthusiasts. Is entertaining, and a show with depth that makes the viewer to think of Cristobal and how or why was like this.

It makes me sad to see the company Balenciaga is like this today with the gothic and aggressively exaggerated pieces of Demna or the controversial advertisements, of due to which I am sure Cristobal would not even start tailoring if he was aware of this.

Amazing series

I am absolutetly amazed by this series. First I loved the acting and was really impressed by the actors ability to speak perfect french and spanish, something you don't see nowhere in american productions.

I didn't know almost nothing about Balenciaga brand, except they came up with some ridiculous things in the past few years like the "ikea bag", the "towel skirt" etc, and of course the scandal from 2022, wich made so many people boycott them. Now after I saw the series I understand what a shame is to associate Cristóbal Balenciagas name to those things, especially when he didn't want the brand to even exist without him...

Extraordinary

What a beautiful, beautiful interpretation of one of the greatest haute couture designers that ever existed. It is an excellent insight into Cristobals life. Everyone who took part in this project did an outstanding job. I am amazed by the outstanding performances of the main actors. I wasn't familiar with them but after this show I will definitely be looking into their previous work. I hope this show is recognised for the work of art that it is. What a fantastic experience. I would definitely be rewatching this in time and I warm heartedly recommend it. I am happy I stumbled upon this show and I have binged it.
