Balmain

Christopher Decarnin, like Nicolas Ghesquière, showed punk-inspired clothes for his latest collection for Balmain. His execution, however, was a far less subtle "fuck you" to the self-proclaimed taste-makers of the industry. The collection was typically sexy and was heavily detailed, bearing some impressive hardware. Decarnin abandoned the usual embellished party dresses for leather jackets, cropped pants, and super short bottoms. He certainly knows how to give his girls what they want. The designer's rather skilled at beautiful destruction and has been fueling a lucrative business—despite the fashion house's astronomical pricing. With this collection, there's little sign of slowing down.
