Balmain F/W 13.14 Paris

I see Mc Hammer "Can't Touch This" music video more than Dynasty

MC Hammer as inspiration? Who would have thought. The look was not popular even when he was popular.

 

[KemAlnagdy]

I loved the first look, then everything went wrong! There are some lovely pieces, though!

 

[IsabelMarantBoy]

Wow, he managed to outcrap himself yet again! And like I said before, this looks exactly like the pre-season collection that came before it. These silhouettes are just god awful, my eyes hurt. I wish Decarnin was back at the helm, his work was repetitive but at least it was nicer to look at than this

Someone needs to call MC Hammer and see if any of his pants have been stolen.

I see medieval knights and harlequins. I am leaving the castle.

 

[Marc10]

It looks like Aladdin's fancy outfits.

 

[Versace-Goddess]

Balmain became so trashy after the change.
i think it´s just matter of time that there will be another change- which is needed.

 

[JuiceMajor]

How young is this guy? I mean is he missing the 80s where he wasn't even born maybe? This is hideous! Just gone from good to worst!

 

[Morphe]

This is LITERALLY from the 80's. Literally. This Claude Montana realness right here. I don't think I have seen a more straightforward retro reference lately, it doesn't get any more dated than this. Huge, resounding "no" from me.

PS. I'm sure this collection would have been a huge hit back then though.

 

[Label Basher]

This is LITERALLY from the 80's. Literally.

Exactly. It's one thing to reference the 80s but not show a whole collection from the 80s. This is a disaster and I hope the critics call him out.

He must have used a DeLorean to go steal Joan Collins clothes.

 

[rayoflight]

Any look would fit right in some Star Trek TNG episode for random alien extra. Seriously. No redeeming qualities whatsoever there.

 

[marcBarna]

Omg, this is too much

 

[Deleted member 1957]

Dear gracious he made Karlie look like a linebacker! This is not pleasing to my eye. I see he tried to make women look better by reducing the waist but the shoulders. Oh dear.

This made me LMFAO!!

That said i think its too literally 80s and quite unflattering to the models I wonder what it will look like on real life women

 

[ad041715]

Oh no. I've loved all of Olivier's collections up until this. This is a whole new kind of ugly.

Just his fourth season and it already seems he's out of ideas...

 

[lightblue]

He's ruining Balmain. Bring back Decarnin!

 

[TianSoFine]

There are some pretty cool pieces but the collection looks a bit awkward. And too much shiny stuff!

 

[ogepma]

This collection is terrible in my eyes! I really liked his earlier ones but this looks so cheap! It is even more painful when you see that they are priced way more than other designers. They guy should chill out and stop trying too hard. Many of this looks very forced, dated and very tacky.
