This posts jumps ahead again to Spring Summer 09 and a collection from one of my favourite labels Balenciaga. Nicolas Ghesquière was true to form producing a ground breaking collection that was truly innovative on many levels.

The collection was described by Ghesquière himself as a study of ”matte and shine, playing with textures to see how they reflect or absorb light. And playing with our house codes.” He certainly managed to create an interesting array of textures and the cuts of the outfits contrasted more structured lines with softer draping. The neutral colours and chalky pastels complimented the almost new age shapes feel and did not detract from the depth of interest created by captivating shapes and textures.

The collection included mini dresses, tunics and ankle skimming trousers, aswell as some sparkly party dresses, all of which will be topping many a fashionista’s wish list for next year.

If you can’t wait until next Spring to get some ankle skimming Balenciaga trousers try these low waisted ones.
