First Spanish Disney+ Original Series Announced

Quote

The Original drama limited series tells the story of Cristóbal Balenciaga, who’s a man who dares to defy his social status as the son of a seamstress and a fisherman. Using his natural talent, constant work and sharp nose for business, Balenciaga goes on to become one of the most prominent fashion designers of all time.

Created by Lourdes Iglesias and 12-time Goya Award-winners Jose Mari Goenaga, Jon Garaño and Aitor Arregi (“The Endless Trench”), the series is a story about the search for identity while overcoming adversity and defying social conventions throughout changing times. Obsessed in his pursuit for authorship among voices judging his work and the loneliness that comes of being an artist, the audience will witness the constant deconstruction and reconstruction of this master’s great losses: his life partner, his mother and his country.

The series will consist of 6 episodes, that are 50 minutes each.

No timeline for release yet.

The secret life of Balenciaga

Quote

The series charts Maison Balenciaga’s successes and challenges over a 30-year period, showing the intense rivalry among couturiers, the impact of the Nazi occupation of France, and the changing tastes in the high fashion market in the post-war years.

It also shows the personal challenges that Balenciaga faced, namely the death in 1947 of Wladzio Jaworowski d’Attainville, the brand’s head milliner and Balenciaga’s lover.
