it's the eyes, ilaughead, it's the eyes . I'm tryint to see 'Balmain elements' (if such thing exists apart from blatant shoulder pads and tacky embellishment) and keep failing.. I think the proportions here have a more dignified aura.. more natural.. not skank-ish at all, actually. I could go as far as saying that this is good , the amount of satin/silk as in most NYC shows is obviously unnecessary and taints all concept in mind but I think the looseness, palette, it's all conveying summer quite well.Funny, I'm used to seeing Balenciaga in every collection, but everyone is doing Balmain more and more.
