Just a quick post – awaiting the AW 10 collection, I have been browsing the SS ’10 Balmain collection that debuted in October. Beautiful, simple and commanding. The perfect way to bridge the ice of winter with the moisture and regeneration of spring. For Spring 2010 – pass on pastels and focus your sights on the chrome-toned sharply designed military monochromatic pieces inspired by Balmain.
The strong-shoulder, monochrome shine, leather (or faux, s’il vous plaît) wrapping and strapping, studded accents meet Grecian wrapping and asymetrical balance.
Dewey-faced models with happy yet stoic faces marched strongly down a white runway, a parade of militaristic style.
Freja Beha Erichsen (IMG) marching in military olive denim, note the Frankenstein stitching accents.
Isabelli Fontana wearing a hybrid gladiator skirt and spider web garment, that borders precariously close to Xena. To be frank, I don’t mind the homage to the warrior princess. Darretta – this is for you.
Anja Rubik – I have to say, I debated posting you. I just love this dress. However, Miss Rubik’s hipbones could cut glass. I would like to personally reward her with a Magnolia cupcake for being so fierce.
Michael Kors’ girl – Carmen Kass – displaying the signature military jackets that have become the staple of Balmain collections – and knockoffs.
Thanks to the designs of Christophe Decarnin, Balmain gives a clear design guide for spring. Again ladies and gentlemen, pass on pastels. Save them for Fall…Just ask Louis Vuitton.
i would not have thought this had been cool a handful years in the past however it’s crazy just how age shifts the way you understand all types of creative concepts, thank you regarding the piece of writing it’s relaxing to browse through some thing sensible once in a while instead of the customary nonsense mascarading as information sites on the web, cheers
