Balmain

From the man who inspired countless knockoffs, came another round of glittery, strong looks for Spring/Summer 2010. Christophe Decarnin has not stopped the party at Balmain, but declared war on all things unfashionable. The models were powerful soldiers of style wearing updated camouflage and military jackets with shoulder tassels. The collection also included short Grecian looks that transformed women like Sasha Pivovarova into glamorous gladiators. Balmania was the result of Fall/Winter 2009, so I'm curious to see how the young (and not so young) jet set will embrace this collection. It's sparkly, it's sexy, it's strong. What's not to love? I'm a bit obsessed myself. Surely girls everywhere will be snagging these pieces up as fast as possible... or at least imitations...
