ok, we're currently in haute couture season, but still...
i definitely can't afford not reviewing this amazing collection for men by balmain.
i love balmain's designs. the design house always comes up with cool, influential things. take example last year; ever since they dressed their models in strong-shouldered minidresses, tough-chic boots, and MJ-esque military jackets for their fall 2009 collection, they had come as centers of influence since then. so strong that front-row stars like mischa barton and leigh lezark rock the balmain-inspired look. this issue of "front-row-sameness" had even brought as the subject of the complaint from teen vogue's fashion news director jane keltner in the december/january 2010 issue.
this 2010, the design house came up with another cool collection rich in of structured statement jackets for men, in a wide row of types ranging from tough leather jackets to safari vests in neutrals, not to mention ΓΌber-cool blazers decorated with emblems and slouchy breezy tops (notice that worn-out tee in the far right?) that would make perfect outfits for everyday wear.
hope you enjoy this collection as much as i do. :)
