Lorenzo Riva, artistic director of luxury fashion brand Balenciaga during the 1980s, launched the long-awaited collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) “Cristóbal Balenciaga: To the Moon” on July 21 in collaboration with Cointelegraph. The NFT collection comprises 8,300 original and never-before-seen designs by Cristóbal Balenciaga himself. Cristóbal had humble beginnings as a local tailor’s apprentice and rose to prominence in the fashion industry as a pioneer of new garment forms. These fashions, like the sack dress and the cocoon coat, changed the course of women’s fashion in the 1950s.
