Balenciaga Spring 2011

Still in maintenance to his signature youthful futurism under the French fashion house; picking up where he left off last season, Nicolas Ghesquiere was definitely in a punky and viscous mood as shown in his Spring 2011 collection for Balenciaga. He was also probably thinking of dressing the Balenciaga women like a boy from the masculine cut and fit of each motorcycle jacket, the sloppy, but also chic aspect of a poppy colored flannel half tucked in and the bagginess of the pants slouching below the waist and tight at the ankles. The Doc Martin inspired shoes were among all my faves that came in flaming metallic red, and blue with studded details underneath. The cocoon shaped coat displayed in sequins and/or tweed details with overly structured leather sleeves, payed homage to the classic British culture. `There were also feminine doses thrown out here and there in every other look from the triangular shaped mini skirts and sequins with lace shifts that created an illusion of hologramed pieces of clothing balancing the collection out. The tailoring of the boy cut blazers were beyond exquisite. I mean!!! I'm literally head over hills for these pieces. Ghesquiere's inspiration was executed incredibly well and having super models Carolyn Murphy, pregnant Miranda Kerr, Amber Valletta and Gisele Bundchen closing was the cherry on top of a delicious ice cream sundae.
