Assaad Awad
Plays Balenciaga
In a world dominated by copy/paste, a return to craftsmanship is necessary.
Balenciaga had a predilection for enriching fabrics with hand embroidery, sequins or rhinestones and sought out the best craftsmen to work with him.
Awad argues that in a world dominated by copy/paste it is necessary to return to craftsmanship. For this reason, he has selected several artisans from different trades throughout Spain who, under his direction, have collaborated in the elaboration of the pieces in this exhibition.
The fabric made for Assad Awad is based on the research of a type of fabric frequently used by Balenciaga, the Ottoman, adapted to the Lebanese designer's aesthetics and use of leather.
