Balmain Fall/Winter 2010 Womenswear

It's official! I got sucked right into the core of Balmania. I have a soft spot for everything Balmain. Even my sheets have to be Balmain now. The label which is known to be notoriously expensive - such a major *eyesore!

The theme for fall/winter 2010 is "Baroque 'n' roll." Nothing revolutionary, Balmain's Christophe Decarnin is still banking in on the same formula that helped the french fashion house achieved a 50% sales increase. Despite a repetition in silhouette and designs, the collection is a gamut of luxurious finery...gold frocks with fringes and full-length slinky gowns; brocade jackets with lavish detailing and gold pin-striped tailored suits that induces major heart palpitation and make many women weak at their knees.
