Chic Balenciaga " Le Dix " ensemble or Pants Suit early 1990's. The fabric is a slate gray, and has a smooth drapey elegant look to it. Military Inspired jacket trimmed in shimmery silver lurex. It is crop cut, and snaps up the front with a double row of covered snaps. It is lined in a silky lining. Balenciaga was founded by Cristóbal Balenciaga 1914. He was referred to as "the master of us all" by Christian Dior. **The finishing touch, of course, is the silver metallic lurex yarn. This was knit into a cable stitch wide border for the front and the cuffs. Finished with 2 tassels at the neckline. **The pants are softly double pleated. They zip in front center with a beautifully done hidden zipper (typical of Balenciaga refined details). They are very slightly tapered, and lined. **The Le Dix line is Balenciaga's Pret-a-Porter fashion, much like Dior, New York, or Chanel Boutique. C O N D I T I O N: Excellent.
