[JordanB]

mixed feelings about this collection.. It's alright.

The black dress on Isabeli is just WOW.

I quite like it so far, except for the zebra print.

this is surely one of the bad shows!!
i am an avid BALMAIN fan but this show has given me massive doubts.
while the past seasons had some nice details this one just overall looks trashy in NOT a cool way (yes there is way to make trashy look decent)
thumbs down

i hate the shoes

 

[nylonbits]

some pieces are quite nice
very glam rock

 

[BerlinRocks]

it's ok, cute... but isn't always the same???
boring, in a way....
i think he's a good introduction from milan to paris. enough tacky to be milanese, enough parisienne to be in france.
i've just seen a few seconds of the show. heu honestly i'm really liking Raquel look....

(i like the music, too. it's something known but i just cannot put my finger on this... if someone has information, i want it!)

I like it as usual! Maybe this collection is a bit repetitive but it's still very nice and beautiful. I love the dress on Anna J and leather pants on Natasha!

Because now's the time for being tacky, trashy and sl*tty

i pray there will never be a time for that. who in their right minds wants to be thought of as tacky, trashy, or sl*tty?


i must admit i like that black lace and zipper dress. i hardly ever pay attention to balmain though.

I was kidding I agree with Spike, if Balmain showed in Milan everybody would hate it... Hence the importance of showing in Paris and BTW I, too, think some pieces are downright ugly and tacky... But I really like it overall

 

[MyNameIs]

I think it's a pretty hot collection.

A lot of girls want to look sl*tty sometimes.

I luv this!! And Paris has finally landed!!

 

[chessmess]

balmain is quickly becomign one of my favorite houses...

 

[KI_egoiste]

I usually love Balmain, but this leaves more to be desired. The textures and colors are pretty cool, but the shapes and cuts remind me of high-schoolers trying to make fashion. Very very bad.

Someone with a catwalking account...please?

I second that

 

[Squizree]

Oh My God....This collection ROCKS! How sexy are those thigh high slits? And nothing tops up the dresses more than those huge shoes. Genius!
The prints are brilliant and super sexy!

 

[ellerina]

aside from the zebra-print pants (or the pants in general) i like this! the dresses are lovely, especially the sequined red one on snejana

 

[Street_a_Licious]

you know, usually i really like Balmain, but, c'mon, more 80's 90's punk? isn't it getting really really really old already?

I agree

I really loved the past collections of Balmain their sexiness and rock and roll it seemed young and something that I would love to wear.

This is way too Milanese for me... it has crossed the line and gone tacky. Which s a real shame as it seemed quite classy before. Badass classy.
