Paris Fashion Week - Balmain
pictures from www.style.com
In an attempt to take everyones mind off the doom and gloom of the financial markets etc, I decided to post today on the Balmain show at Paris fashion week. This is definitely one to cheer you up. With military style jackets teamed with ripped jeans and sandals, mini bodycon dresses and pouffed up ra ra skirts everything was encrusted with crystal, sequins, diamantes or studs.
There was a definite feel of the eighties about the collection with assymetric dresses, big shoulders and micro skirts. The collection was awash with bling and could well have been inspired by American soap Dynasty. But instead of just rehashing the same old eighties stuff, Christophe Decarnin has done it more stylishly than the first time round. The clothes have been finished with couture like details- just look at the shoulders, far more appeaing than the original American football player, eighties versions.
If you love a bit of eighties bling as seen at Balmain, this Diamante T Shirt is just the thing.
