Beyond The Fashion



All Images of Balenciaga and Janet's work from Pinterest

Janine Janet was a favourite of  the Balenciaga design house. She did a lot of their window displays. She seemed to love working with pearls, corals, shells, wood and other natural elements, merging them to form fantastical sculptures that took on a lot of biblical or mythical imagery. She yielded store front and window displays for, not just Balenciaga, but also Nina Ricci, Balmain and Hubert de Givenchy.
 
I love it and I wish the fashion houses would return to a time when the arts really melded and kept good company with fashion.
 
Janet's work is now displayed in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs .
 
A great hostess gift for an art and fashion lover:  Métamorphose, Janine Janet
