After serving an internship with Agnès B and assisting Jean Paul Gaultier, Nicolas Ghesquière was plucked from relative obscurity to become the creative director at Balenciaga in 1997. He reinvigorated the brand with electrifying, cutting-edge collections, mixing minimalism with technology to design clothes "for a woman who is looking to the future". His spring/summer 2007 collection for Balenciaga was just that. Ghesquière produced a vision of fashion's future. The model is a sharp, slick and cool as the black-and-white printed silk dress and black leather waistcoat she wears, cut around the body with a laser precision. Her jointed leggings in gleaming gold metal are astonishingly delicate pieces of armour, while her scraped-back hair and gargantuan goggles complete the silhouette of a futuristic fashion android. Ghesquière's fifteen-year tenure at Balenciaga ended in 2012.
