Is there any chance we'll be able to see full video. The show got such a great music. Clothes are the same every season but it would be great to see them anyway.
The decline and fall of global economies has not stopped Christophe Decarnin from charging $1,500 for a Balmain T-shirt. That's his cheapest T-shirt. As in a cotton T-shirt, the only distinguishing characteristics being some artfully placed holes. Sparkles will cost you $3,000.
A fashion director from a top New York specialty store, shopping the Paris collections this month, questioned the wisdom of stocking up on Balmain after visiting the company's showroom, where the price range of fanciest dresses is $12,000 to $22,000, and jackets are priced at about $5,000. Like pretty much every other retailer, she wanted to carry one of the hottest labels in town, but really now, an entire outfit would cost modest 401(k) holders the equivalent of their losses during last week's market chaos.
im sorry but balmain is just over rated 80s redux trash albeit with good fabrics but the designs are just something out of wetseal , glitter tees , ripped and printed skinny jeans are available for 25 bucks , and they have been for the past 1 year and half , ditto givenchy , just overpriced urban outfitters , those leather jeans with insets , some fashion victims were getting excited about are also available for a fraction of the cost at UO and Topshop, and tbh the whole punk warrior whore look is really really over rated and starting to be passe.

it's so curious how balmain intends to use an entirely different strategy than other fashion labels like i would think Dolce&Gabbana and such...
we are used to see DG dresses have very high prices, yet we all know that you can get the cheap cheap tshirt for under a hundred.
and i say it's the opposite for balmain because a jacket priced around 5000 is not too far from a chanel model.... yet the tshirts Do seem overprized
they are kinda not willing to let "anyone" jsut wear the tshirt to have the look or purchase it as a status-piece
