I was in the balmain store the other day in paris, it was located at the second floor because they had closed the groundfloor shop for restoration. It was so small and they had some menswear, nothing special actually. the navy-coloured hoodie was worse than american apparel, I liked some t-shirts but they were 249 €. too much money for a lame t-shirt. I saw a lady trying on the glittering highheels with a bow from the fall collection. she had a troubled expression on her face, maybe because the shoes cost a fortune!
