‘Elegance is Elimination’ — Cristóbal Balenciaga Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Classic Tee

“Elegance is elimination.” The line has no firm date, but the work proves it: Cristóbal Balenciaga, celebrated in Diana Vreeland’s 1973 Met retrospective, was the couturier who kept removing seams until a coat could hang from a single one. Elegance, to him, was a subtraction problem — you reach it by taking away, past the point most people stop. The final, hardest cut is usually the one that leaves the thing looking inevitable.
