Balmain F/W 2008.09 Paris

[LostInNJ]

After seeing several pieces up close and personal, I am in love. It's hot and rocker but oh so chic. The metal tops, however, are heavy!

 

[KKnardi]

who wore it better, kate or carine?

carine always looks better ... but i also like her shoes better

 

[MissyJG]

I LOVE the collection. Some of it is kinda trashy looking and will only probably work on the models but the jackets especially are great. :: drewls ::

When I first saw it I loved it. But then when I saw everyone on this thread trashing it I started having doubts...however if it's good enough for Carine and Emmanuelle then it's damn well good enough for me. Perhaps it's because of my age that I quite like the trashy edge it has.

ohjane! you and anna selezneva rock it-(love your avatar) as does christophe decarnin for balmain! and natasha poly.

 

[eugenius]

definitely one of the most overrated design houses here @ tFS..

 

[The_Ida]

This dress sold out immediately in spite of the price being €10235, so probably not that overrated after all

My guess would be that that dress sold out more because it's been snapped on Carine Roitfeld and not so much because it's a fabulous design.

 

[212DRESSINGROOM]

That dress is HOT and a ton of celebs wore it.

 

[Spike413]

Hence why it's so popular....

Other than that it looks like something you could and would find at Bebe stores in malls across America.

 

[KKnardi]

it's a beautiful dress, but €10235? that's almost couture pricing.

 

[212DRESSINGROOM]

I totally overlooked the 10235 and thought it said 1235 which is MUCH more manageable.. Wow! Thats EXPENSIVE! The styling of the mannequin.. I think that's what gives it the bebe edge spike413.

 

[BerlinRocks]

and perhaps it's sold out because it wasn't produce a lot .... how many were produced ?

Vogue Paris supports him a lot ....
Madame Alt being very helpful with Decanin ....
je dis ça, je dis rien ...

by the way, the net à porter styling of this dress looks horrible !

 

[OhJane]

Browns also have that dress for £8185..
