Balmain Women’s Autumn-Winter 2010/11.

Luxe fabrics, strong shoulders, plunging necklines and extravagant embellishment.  Balmain’s newest ready-to-wear womenswear collection is amazing.  It is the antithesis of “recessionista” minimalism.  I have no words to describe how much I want every single piece.  Christophe Decarnin is a genius.
