Balenciaga Resort 2006

[vintage_princess]

Consumable Balenciaga, two words which I never thought would be together. But the new heads of Gucci Group must love this collection, it's consumable but it seems to lose the essence of Balenciaga that Ghesquiere gave.

The structureless design of that dress is so unGhesquiere, maybe it's just me.

Its not just you who thinks that

I usually love Balenciaga but not too keen on those few outfits.

I like what I saw, but I must agree, it is not very "Ghesquiere-esque".

The last outfit, especially, looked liked it belong on the Chloe catwalks for S/S 05:

Thats not Anouck Lepere, but Id love to know who she is. She really is a doll!

Read my post

whats the deal with all the comparisons designers have moods and feelings he probably was in the kind of mood the clothes are,and if you look at the full thing it doesnt look like chloe.

I love the skirt in the second pic and I love the last outfit.

not great, like for BALENCIAGA but still looks good!

the first dress posted was totally unexpected, especially its color, but the rest it simply gorgeous, pure balenciaga. love it!!

 

[Curious]

they look like they come from separate collections

I agree. Based on these 4 photos, it doesn't seem cohesive. I do like all the looks, though. Particularly the jackets

Does anyone know where you can see the entire collection? Thanks in advance!

And thanks to you for posting this thread, Lena

I love how he uses Ann-Catherine Lacrioux and Anouck Lepere.

i love seeing anne-catherine too...she's such a "balenciaga" girl...

i need to see more pics of this collection...it's so hard to gauge what's going on by only seeing 3-4 looks. and the balenciaga site doesn't show resort collections...

the third look is wonderful

love unexpected, if it was expected i wouldnt like it all all.. expected bores me to tears

I love how he uses Ann-Catherine Lacrioux and Anouck Lepere.

I like the second look (Anouck).

But the last look (on Ann-Catherine) is very Helmut Lang.

I thought the same.

Thank you so much for posting, Lena.

yes i agree, but dont you think it looks a lot like Chloe and Stella Mccartney?
i think all of these brands really need to separate themselves from each other, there is such a similarity sometimes its hard to tell the difference!

i completely agree. helmut lang is what came to my mind when i saw this

 

[iperlchen]

Spot on...

 

[AlexN]

^YES! I was wondering if anyone else was thinking that.

 

[Lena]

we all know Nicolas is not the most original designer in the world.. he's also been borrowing heavily from Mark Le Bihan and Sharon Wauchomb

"Balenciaga reprised this oversize dress from 1966 for its most recent cruise collection."

I like the third pic for once.

^ that dress drawfs the model in a nice way
