Balenciaga Resort 2009

Nicolas Ghesquière injected a dose of rock ’n’ roll attitude into Balenciaga this season.
While there were hints of Fifties couture in pale colors like green almond and flesh, the collection was graphic and punched up with tougher elements, including studs and leather motorcycle pants.

That studded blazer is looking mighty fine, and the trousers are lovely too

Some of it is very pretty...
Though most of it is too severe for me...
I always feel like I wouldn't be able to move in
any of Nicholas' designs...
I like the weaved Le Dix in theory...
But something is off about it... too much blk., maybe...?
Ty for posting!

I LOVE the last looks in post 1 and both looks in post 2. The accessories are really morrocan/middle eastern resort to me. The color palette is a little blah. This is only ok for a resort collection for Balenciaga.

It seems like he is moving back in the direction of his earlier stuff for Balenciaga.

I LOVE that first dress with the band down the side, and the black blazer/strapless top/skinny trouser look is pretty great as well.

I'm glad to see him continuing some of the shapes from fall. This isn't as powerful as that was, but the pieces look great.

I find it fascinating those straight lines and the architectural look but the accessories lack of something..

I REALLY hope this is at least somewhat of a preview for his next show. I really like it.

I really LOVE most of this...is great to see NG going back to what he does best out-of-this-world-tailoring... this is so exquisitely chic.

I hope that this is a taste for things to come! <3
