Balmain F/W 2008.09 Paris

[disco54]

Christophe Decarnin has injected a very rock and roll look into Balmain, but this season it looks like it might border on kitsch...the lightning bolt dress? It reminds me of Jem and the Holograms.

HAHAHAHAHAHA....Jem ...jem is my name lol ...actually its more like something the Misfits would wear (the sinister counterparts of the holograms) The dresses are nice , but the pants and blazers are tacky

Ha! The dresses are DOPE!!!!

I have to say that I love every piece of it. Good start for Paris fashion week!

I like it, a bit of Rock&Roll, but in a stylish way. Love the long dresses.

You are totaly right! Couldn't have said it in a better way!

This reminds me of everything I hated about the Spice Girls.

Christophe's been doing such a nice job up until this show, too. But there's nothing new here, it's all so dated.

i liked it until the zebra prints showed up...the dresses are gorgeous, though.

 

[masquerade]

So true!!!

I dont like the zebra prints, but all the other dresses amazing!! Especially the dress on Maryna with the silver top, i hope there are more pieces like that!

[MadameX]

I like it, so far. The scenery is great, love the morrors!

 

[gr77]

This is a disappointment,like his SS08 show was.It looks so kitsch!!
I only like the black dress Isabeli is wearing

 

[mackos]

I guess I'm the only one that has a weird impression of watching the same stuff again and again Anyway, few pieces look nice.

Where is the full collection most likely to be posted first (apart from catwalking) style.it?

^Probably at style.it

It is boring, but still beautifully boring. Balmain is turning into one of my favorite brands. I always look forward to their shows. I absoultely love the dresses on Lily and Isabeli.
