[Book Description]
This book is the first comprehensive record of the brief yet richly productive career of fashion photographer and director Tom Kublin. It also pays tribute to his creative collaboration with the legendary designer Cristóbal Balenciaga during the golden postwar era in Paris.
Featuring over 140 rare photographs and film stills, the book captures the heyday of Balenciaga’s haute couture from the 1950s to 1960s—ranging from elegant and refined series shoots to covers and features in top fashion magazines, including extremely rare film footage of Balenciaga himself at work in his studio.
The volume opens with a foreword by Kublin’s daughter María Kublin and includes a detailed biography by fashion and art historian Ana Balda. It delves into Kublin’s creative journey, his position within Europe’s avant-garde art circles, and his close partnership with Balenciaga. Miren Vives, director of the Balenciaga Museum, also contributes an essay.
Additionally, the book contains recollections from fashion insiders who worked with Kublin, including an exclusive interview with model and muse Katinka Bleeker; memories from Italian master photographer Gian Paolo Barbieri about his early years as Kublin’s assistant; and a critical essay by Lydia Slater, editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar UK, reflecting on Kublin’s pivotal role during a turning point in magazine history.
This volume stands as a heartfelt tribute to Tom Kublin’s remarkable career and innovative spirit, preserving his contributions to fashion photography and the visual language of the Balenciaga brand. It serves as an invaluable resource for future generations studying art and fashion history.
