^ That's the exact (Target) Go International vest that lucy92 posted above... and it's 5x the original price.
It is very Balmain-esque.

i notice that, they looked very similar until i googled the other vest and i realized it was the same vest. it seems the girl is totally taking credit for creating the vest...hmmm^ That's the exact (Target) Go International vest that lucy92 posted above... and it's 5x the original price.

I'd love to stud a jacket like that, but how long would it take and is it really tough to push the studs through?? do you need a gun thing to do it?
I thought someone might also appreciate this http://www.stylescrapbook.com/2009/01/diy-balmain.html
ive been workin on a mock up for the balmain jacket and its been quite hard. surprisingly giving shape to the shoulder isnt the hardest part, that was quite easy actually, because of the material, on nap it says its made from canvas and that fabric holds up the shape pretty good, the difficult thing is to give the 2piece sleeve sleeve a slim fit with the tricky cut on the shoulder-sleeve.

the picture shows how the normal princess cut bodice looks like(the red line), (im doing the black version but this one shows better the cuts and seams)but in the jacket the addition to make the volumen on the shoulder comes all the way to the sleeve, but is still part of the bodice and making a perfect fit sleeve is driving me nuts!
ill take a break go get some fresh air and continue with this later.
the sleeve is a major biatch! but i think im pretty close to do it right, so far i just need to adjust a few things. good thing im working on a mock up and not the actual fabric.
for the embellishments i plan to combine both the black one and the denim styles. i want it to be black canvas but the embellishments on that one are a little too much for me, and i think itll look nice with the chains from the denim jacket, just a thin chain going back and forth and maybe some crystals or crystal buttons. ill keep the lenght of the black one though. ill show you how its coming together
As for the sleeve, you most definitely need to a two piece sleeve. you will not get a slim fit with just one piece ( I don't know if you're doing a 1 piece sleeve or not).
As far as the shoulder, it's basically a shaped extended shoulder. I have to look it up the picture I'm trying to explain but are you doing this on the form or are you flat patternmaking it.
