Just got back from the Balenciaga trunk show. Disappointed they didn't have the hand painted latex pieces....
It was basically showing quite a bit of what will be sold in stores. It was really impressive.
I saw these dresses. It's very interesting...the black fabric is like adhered to scuba-like foam fabric which gives it its incredible shape.
Saw these coats. They were so gorgeous. They felt light, yet heavy at the same time. So fascinating.
This dress is SOOO gorgeous. Same foam construction techniques used for the black part of the dress. It has such an amazing shape.
Saw a variety of this skirt design. The top part of the skirt is, I believe, latex, the bottom is like a menswear wool and it has latex piping.
Saw these jackets and pants. The pants are a combination of the thin menswear wools and latex. The jacket is very impressive as well. Holds its shape amazingly. You don't change the shape of the jacket, they jacket changes the shape of you!
They had a different version of these draped tops...there was no velvet used.
They had the dress version of this, no latex coat, but the dress was really beautiful. Simply, graphic, draped gorgeously...the boots were the same shape but in a dark leather.
The shoes were really interesting. The stilettos were incredibly fierce looking and the ones with the 'outer space crystal' on the heel were especially eye catching.
The jewelry was stunning.
