Balenciaga F/W 04.05 Paris

[Lena]

scary monster

[Lena]

what is THIS supposed to be ???

[Scott]

Lena,are those the rumours you heard when in Paris? It doesn't surprise me much as the last few have been terribly disappointing.

All I can say though is about this,my bets this will be praised by the Voguettes and deemed the best of the season which I think is proposterous. Its good in certain places but not overall brilliant.

[Scott]

Those boots look frighteningly unstable

[Lena]

yes, there is talk of letting him go, lets face it, since the 'copies' scandal (see the fateful patchwork collection) he's been selling very bad,
his 'inspiration' is low and ceo's are not that thrilled, much more since he started quite well you know

[Lena]

those boots are dangerous to wear

[softgrey]

oh happy happy joy joy-

let's boot him from balenciaga and boot his buddy stephen gan from harper's bazaar!!! give some people with more than one good idea a chance! everyone has ONE good idea...that's not very impressive...to come up with new ideas every six months...THAT"S impressive...

motorcycle jkt
patchworky/scuba dressing-which he stole from hussein chalayan and sofia kokosalaki...there's a name...why not give her the job!!!??? or hussein??!!

that motorcycle bag is the best thing to come out of that house since he's been there...how many years ago was that?!

oh so boring...

i liked the white dress and the grey dress and the grey jumper...everything else
YAWN... :

[Lena]

nice detail - perfect fit

[Lena]

this shape seems to be working best in shoes

[Lena]

chains its CHAINS, not trimmings scott

[softgrey]

chains-

[Lena]

pimples and all



headress gone wrong? why no one is wearing this during the show??

[Scott]

Exactly what I thinking,Lena. That patchwork-copying that surfaced has really haunted him. I think that's why the collections lately have been less than impressive. Too bad because he was such a tremendous talent in the early days of his stint at Balenciaga....now he's let it all go down the corporate tube.

I so agree with your observations Softgrey*!!! Hussein and Kokosalaki...uh huh

[Scott]

Didn't realize that. Let's adorn the models with colorful chains....that'll make a statement,non?

indeed, plus let them go out without make up, with smudged eyes and all, good publicity for those beauties
