Cristobal Balenciaga NFT To the Moon drop inspired by founder’s original designs is live

Lorenzo Riva, the artist director of the luxury fashion brand Balenciaga during the 1980s, launched a much anticipated Cristóbal Balenciaga: To the Moon nonfungible token (NFT) collection on Thursday in collaboration with Cointelegraph. The NFT collection comprises 8,300 original, never-before-seen designs from Cristóbal Balenciaga, himself.

Cristóbal had humble beginnings as a local tailor’s apprentice and eventually rose to prominence in the fashion industry as a pioneer of novel garment shapes. These fashions, such as the sack dress and the cocoon coat, changed the course of women’s fashion in the 1950s.
