Ugh, you're right. It does look like Balenciaga (which is not good considering how sucky that brand is at the moment). This has to be their worst collection ever. I defended their last few collections (to an extent), but this I just can't. Awful.
It's EXTREMELY Balenciaga- a fact, not an opinion- but I also can't say with certainty that it's awful. I think it's just terribly hit or miss. There are definitely more hits than misses, but those two middle looks in post #4 are beautiful in my opinion.
