Loved all!I thin that the twist of matirials and shapes is just on the edge of pret-a-porter so i loved how sheer fabrics mix with harder looking materials and that`s so in the style of Balenciaga!They offer a design to fall in love to ideas inspired from arcitecture and materials todie for!Good work!

I had the funniest experience the other day, stopping to look at something in a shop window and thinking 'Interesting jacket', then realizing I recognized it from runway photos. It was Balenciaga, of course. Up close its synthetic PVCness was inescapable, and when I went inside to look at some of the dresses from resort I wondered if Nicolas G hadn't gone a bit over the line experimenting with new materials.

Hmm, I couldn't find the look on style.com but it was a dark sheath (grey or black I think) with a pink latex bodice. It's just that the latex must have been hard to sew because the stitches looked like they had been made with a nail gun. Might have been from a different season but it had the Balenciaga label in it :/
