Balenciaga
Author: Anothertravelguide.com0 COMMENTS
Design-wise one of the most original Balenciaga shops in the world - a hybrid of an art gallery (it isn't located in Chelsea for nothing) and Granddad's garage. What makes it even more authentic is the fact that the building did indeed use to be a garage: the entrance is slightly reminiscent of a tunnel; next - white, slightly battered walls and the Balenciaga sculpturally provoking designs. Although, if truth be said, clothes play but a second fiddle here: if you do buy anything, it will be more like a souvenir from this design experience.
