Balmain Spring 2011

Burberry started the punk trend for this Spring, Balenciaga followed, and Christophe Decarnin completed it for Balmain Spring 2011. Strunken and tattered distressed studded leather motorcycle jackets, acid washed skinnies part deux, and sexy ghetto stillettos were all in the likes of Decarnin this season. There was a subtle edge with a new and improved chic aspect of being a rock star. Was he thinking of Courtney Love or Gwen Stefani in the process of creating such a hardcore collection? Possibly. Ultra skinny jeans cut above the ankles, sequins, studs, sexy corsets and manipulated tees in American flag prints all screamed rebellion. It also looks like leather short shorts won't be going any where for a while either. What was shockingly missing, which I'm thankful for (no offense) were the huge shoulders that I'm glad is long gone and Decarnin did enough of it to make us all satisfied. However, I didn't see one ball gown or any type of evening wear on the runway for this collection. Maybe he is showing us he refuses to have his Balmain woman dress up anymore and carrying out such strong dressed down pieces manifests his rebellious message. If that makes any sense, but I think you all get my drift. Overall, Balmain still gave us every thing we love plus more about the highly expensive couture fashion house. How much are those motos going to cost us this season Decarnin? Will I have get my mother to sale her eggs and chop off my left foot for one? If that's the case, it doesn't sound like a bad idea.
