Cristobal’s Collection

This post is a showcase of the wonderful swag that we received at the Golden Gate Glamour convention. This collection was inspired by the fabulous fashions of Cristobal Balenciaga.

“Cristobal’s Collection” (to include as many outfits as possible in this photo, I added two sheaths and a long skirt.)



I bought this same book at the DeJung Museum2

This Jacket was one of the favorites among the convention attendees. I heard several woman wish that they had one in their own wardrobe.

We were so happy to receive our own jacket for our dolls. Our jacket is lined in black and is reversible. It can be worn with or without a belt.

I hope to add more photos soon.



When I got home with all my new stuff, I put it all away without making a list of the whole collection, so I asked on the “Studio Commissary” if anyone had kept track of all of our swag. Thank you Kelly Ryan for this list!

Thank you for posting beautiful photos & the list. Cristobal Balenciaga is a new name to me that I add in my dictionary of beauty.
