Few designers in the 2000s pushed boundaries, stirred conversation, and made statements like Nicolas Ghesquière. At twenty-five years old, Nicolas took over the dormant fashion house of Balenciaga. As a young, unproven designer, no one foresaw the explosion of ingenuity that would follow. Ghesquière incorporated the influential creations of Balenciaga’s storied past, while drawing inspiration from science fiction, to produce revolutionary looks for the runway and the decade. Season after season, Ghesquière’s unique vision fused the past with the future, allowing Balenciaga to become a rising global brand in the decade.  Episode featuring: Nicolas Ghesquière, Marie-Amelie Sauvé, Inez Van Lamsweerde, Jennifer Connelly, and Vogue’s editorial team Nicole Phelps, Mark Holgate, Laird Borrelli-Persson, and Virginia Smith. Hosted by Hamish Bowles.

Episode 3: Nicolas Ghesquière at Balenciaga: Turn the Fashion House Upside Down

In season 2 of In Vogue: The 2000s, we explore how fashion fused with every aspect of pop culture to become a global entertainment engine ubiquitous in culture--impinging on the global consciousness like never before. From Nicholas Ghesquière awakening the sleeping fashion house of Balenciaga, to Vogue putting the couture into Juicy Couture, and discussing Carrie Bradshaw’s influence on trendy 2000s fashion with Sarah Jessica Parker, we cover the iconic looks that defined the decade. Hear how 9/11 led to the creation of the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund and ushered in the next generation of designers. We examine the colliding worlds of Vogue and Hollywood, and learn how the Met Gala became the Superbowl of fashion. We go behind the scenes of the most iconic fashion shoot of all time, where Annie Leibovitz and Grace Coddington transformed the designers of the decade into the characters of Alice in Wonderland, and sit down with the Brazilian Bombshell herself, Gisele Bündchen, who revolutionized modeling and the fashion industry, while on a meteoric rise to international celebrity status.  Presented by Anna Wintour and hosted by Hamish Bowles, season two of In Vogue examines how the 2000s ushered in a new millennium and redefined boundaries in fashion and society. Alongside fashion leaders, cultural icons, and Vogue’s editorial team, we dissect the decade’s most impactful style moments and how they’ve shaped our world today. **Credit: Photographer Steven Meisel for Gisele and Chanel
