Balmain F/W 2008.09 Paris

[212DRESSINGROOM]

I started the Christophe Decarnin for Balmain thread HERE

I LOVE him (obviously) And am DYING for that lace dress

 

[212DRESSINGROOM]

I don't see any Balmain on Browns website. Do you think it sold out too?

 

[OhJane]

I'm not too sure if it's in stock yet...

That dress is AMAZING! Which fashion/celeb is going to wear it first?

the boots.. are a complete ripoff of the minnetonka moccasins.. except that these have heels!!!!

topshop has similiar pants as the red snake pants

i'm thinking about getting myself a pair, but i'm unsure of what size and we don't have topshop where i live

The boots are a Minnetonka knockoff, but look so wicked with heels. Any idea when/where they will be sold??

To me this collection feels so current and wearable (not counting the hemlines). It's uncomplicated and has a clear formula. All the black, the zippers, the tightness, the blazers, the 80s references... it's a very distilled and upgraded version of one of the more dominant strands of modern street style. I'm happy to see a collection like this because I don't think there really is an equivalent out there filling this significant niche. However, I find the so-called "rock 'n' roll" allusions embarrassing. At this point it's all a reinvention of a reinvention of the Rolling Stones and it really highlights the ages of the people promoting these clothes.

vivacious,
the boots are by GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI (for Balmain) and im pretty sure Netaporter will stock them at some point

i know i'm way late commenting on the collection but i loved it! such a youthful yet sexy/ rock n roll collection. I don't find it tacky at all....very interesting individual peices. sooo many things i loved!

Does anyone know where the boots (aside from Net-a-Porter) will be sold? I heard Jeffrey's would be stocking them, but I called and they won't be. How about Barney's? Any help is much appreciated.

one word

TOPSHOP this looks like what topshop has been churning out for ages.....this 80s punk look ,which quite frankly has been done to death
