Is it just me, or do these colors seem very much like very recent colors? What's happened to the imagination at Balenciaga?!

i thought the same thing...
sahara is like mastic/sandstone, and they just had french blue (now there's electric blue), and they also have magenta again (after asking people to prepay for the LE magenta)...
the only color i'm excited about is the flourescent yellow...

and i've heard rumours that for f/w there will be a purple and a grey...again!
 
I don't think Balenciaga repeating colours is necessarily a bad thing.
There's always something subtly different about the colours that they do this season compared to another colour in the same family.
I personally feel that the magenta for 08 is not as vibrant as the one in 05, which sucks for me as I am still on the lookout for a Bal magenta bag from 05 then.
I would love to get one of the blues (or the Muse Two?? but that's for a different thread ;)) and would love something similar to the Turquoise from 2005. So, should it be electric blue, sky blue or electric turquoise then?

And yea, I'm just as excited about bouton d'or as well! Hoping to snag a work in that shade :D !
 
PrincessImp. there's a magenta day on ebay right now~ i'd looove to have something close to the 05 turq but sadly these new blues just don't wow me enough so i'm hoping one will pop up on ebay...
 
princess...there was also a LE magenta on ebay right now...
i saw the electric blue at neiman's last week in a RH day and it's really pretty IRL...
here are pics of my emerald oval...it's absolutely gorgeous! :woot::wub:
the second one is in natural light...

kim, I :heart: your oval!!!
Electric blue is on my watch list, but I was wondering if the electric turquoise for S/S will be closer to the 05 turquoise? Does anyone know?

Thanks for all the ebay tip-offs too, but I am holding out for a work, so I am crossing my fingers and hope that I'll get lucky!

thank you so much chauss, lilskydiver, princess, miz bags and caroule...
i really love it so much...i might be able to take it out for a spin tonight...^_^
 
NM in Atlanta has just opened a Balenciaga handbag boutique. I had been interested in the 08 magenta, but the leather on those looked really terrible - all dried out and so veined that they almost looked wrinkled. Such a disappointment!
 
mango, you can also get them at diabro.net...

some info about the f/w colors (i know we haven't even seen all of the s/s colors, but you know balenciaga)...

there's going to be a 2 greys, one called 'Argento'....which means silver and another Anthracite, which I think will be more like a true dark grey, sapphire (purple), and chestnut
 
thanks fashionispoison and mona!

more f/w color info:
Argento (silver or light gray)
Anthracite (dark gray)
Sapphire (purple)
Dark Red
Chestnut (saddle)
Evergreen
Noir
