Ana Balda and Maria Kublin — Balenciaga: A Fashion Record

Ana Balda and Maria Kublin — Balenciaga: A Fashion Record

Published by Thames & Hudson, this is the first book to document the work of Hungarian-born fashion photographer Tom Kublin (1924–1966) and his collaboration with Cristóbal Balenciaga during the house's postwar Paris period. Authored by Ana Balda and Maria Kublin (Tom Kublin's daughter), the book gathers rarely seen behind-the-scenes photographs, campaign imagery and short films shot for Balenciaga.

For readers interested in Balenciaga's archive — newly relevant under Demna's tenure — or in the lineage of mid-century fashion photography that Kublin helped shape alongside his work for Harper's Bazaar. Hardcover, 192 pages. Published 2024.
