Paris F/W 09/10 - Balmain

Balmain: There were sparkles. There were shoulders. There were no killer jackets.
What is EmAlt gonna wear next autumn? Dresses?!
(not any of these dresses I hope)

Well there's a jacket, I guess.
What is with these pants? And what have they done to Freja's leg?

Oh, look, Lily has shoulders on her hips. OIC ur genious Cris, rly. (gag)
You have a lot of work to do. I see Nina Garcia on that runway and...
Make.It.Work.
/Gunn.
Shoulders and Sparkles.
S 'n' S
One hand.
Look no shoulders. Just one ridiculously large hip.

Ugh. I do generally like the shoulder-y thing at Balmain but I liked it last season too and I guess recycling is good during this harsh climate (economic and otherwise) but jeebus Decarnin, move on a little bit, yeah?

I have to say this collection's same-y-ness depresses me more than it probably should but something about the economic climate and our own increasing financial difficulties is making Decarnin's poverty of ideas even more offensive.

Fashion week plea: Could someone bring the whimsy please? Could someone find the fairytale? That's what we need. The nevers not the eighties.
Thnx.
