PARIS FASHION WEEK: BALMAIN SPRING SUMMER 2011

For you make NO mistake: I love Balmain ( with Decarnin on charge)! I really love rocker chic! I love leather jeans and distressed t-shirts, I loooveeed biker jackets as the way Christophe Decarnin does it . But I must confessed that I had a little hope that today afternoon show at the Grand Hotel, Paris, something different could happen! But it didn't. He repeated the (good and very commercial indeed) formula once again. 

 

To the sounds of the Sex Pistols in the background, out came the supplest of leather biker jackets, jeans with washed and crushed finishes - studded with rivets and safety pins - in either classic black or the red, T-shirts worn with denim hot pants, white and blue colours of the American flag.

The looks were well done and the silver and sequin jeans, outsize tux jackets and pinned raw hide bustier tops to boot were really amazing, but I would like something... different! Sorry!
