Balmain Fever

I'm up way too early in the morning (4am). Before I put on an episode of Sex and the City on (yes! I got all the seasons now as of yesterday!) I thought I'd swing by and write a quick blog. I meant to write about this yesterday but I ran out of time before I had to run to work.

Regardless, my obsession for Balmain hasn't left me yet. I am just so in love with their Spring 2010 read-to-wear rock n' roll collection.

Here's a quick profile of Balmain (below is copied from Net-a-Porter):

"Pierre Balmain founded his exquisite namesake Parisian fashion house in 1945, dressing the likes of Ava Gardner and Brigitte Bardot. After his death in 1982, a slew of designers took the helm including Oscar de la Renta [1993~2001], and now it's the turn of elegant French designer Christophe Decarnin. Bringing a distinctly modern [and edgy] vibe to the label, the fashion pack are hankering after his crystal-embellished drummer boy jackets, super-skinny acid wash denim and studded high-waisted mini skirts".

This collection makes me want to go on a diet and start a band and live as a rock star. And the looks that Christophe Decarnin designed is completely opposite from what Paris Hilton would ever pull (read my post below).
