That wasn't Versace, that was Mugler (someone who's inspired Ghesquiere before)

This collection did have a Mugler undercurrent. Lots of strict, body shaping clothes, all with a glamorous/ space age edge.

O.K., I'm oficially MAD about this collection!
Are the HQ's available? I'd love to see close-ups from the painted tunics that closed the show!

these designs are so different from anything I have seen! I vote it as the best of the season so far.

Can you believe finale dresses are US$46,665 !!!
Oh. My. GOD. They've got to be kidding with prices like this?!
Why is Balenciaga so ridiculously overpriced?!
I mean, most of their pieces are not value for money. They get ruined really easily. For example, the piece that Amanda Laine wore in the show, creases very easily once you sit down, move around etc etc. Take a look at the end result of in Vogue Italia where one of the models is sitting down in this coat. Its creased and scratched !! And thats just after one day of photo shooting!
It seems to me, they're getting greedier in terms of money. Isn't Balenciaga owned by the Gucci Group? Which is notoriously pushing for profit to compete with their rival LMVH?

which issue of Vogue Italia ? ^
do you mean the model sat down and then when she stood up it was permanently creased/scratched ??
i always thought the high prices was a way of preventing seeing everyone wearing the same outfit
if that is a good reason..

Those finale dresses are hand painted and embroidered by the same ateliers that do work on couture collections (Lesage, Genevieve-Cotte, Lanel....), hence the price.
As far as the patent leather jackets, that kind of stuff happens to all patent leather. It scratches easily and shows creases....it's not just Balenciaga's pieces that it would happen to.
