Balmain boots

Christophe Decarin is the designer for Balmain, and he does it good! Her certainly proved he's the leader of the disco fever Style.com said about his work with this collection. A disco fever that is so trendy in these Michael Jackson and sequins obsessed times. 

When I was in Paris last weekend, I sighed about these Balmain boots I saw in a shoe boutique in an arcade on Champs Élysée. But unfortunately I did not have 2565 euro.... Damn.

Go Balmain go

Can somebody please get me this dress? 

Fashion I want... Now. A rock and roll Cleopatra

It seems to be the time of old fashion house renaissance. First it was Lanvin and Balenciage who came back from the death, and now it is Balmain's turn. The house of Balmain was founded in 1945 after the end of World War II. Pierre Balmain was a part of the New Look trend which Dior started in 1947 in Paris. Balmain once said that "dressmaking is the architecture of movement." To day the house is in the hands of the young fashion designer Christophe Decarnin who certainly makes fashionable almost couture like architecture. In very short time Decarnin has been able to pick up the pieces from the old Parisian fashion house and turn it in to once more become one of the worlds most important brands. The spring/summer 2009 collection was in my opinion a very strong and as always extraordinary collection. To me it seemed like the whole collection was a blend of rock and roll and ancient Egypt. Kind of like a chic, updated, funky, Parisian Cleopatra. I want the green dress so bad! In my dreams it's mine. Hurray!
