I disagree that … I disagree that it’s ‘crappy’. It’s hard for me to see detail on my video version. I suspect the beauty of this collection is in the detail and the fabrics., which I couldn’t see in detail, but supsect that therein lies the beauty of this collection. I love the silhouette though I found the shoe tassels distracting.
I think the prints … I think the prints worked a lot better in the S/S 08 show than here. I thought the way NG used them in that show as floral gladiators, if you will, was very inspired and eye-catching. I don’t know, maybe I’ll learn to like this collection one day. But right now, as an avid fan, I’m not too impressed.
as far as the … as far as the prints they couldnt get anymore spanish Balenciaga, thats what he did, he had a period where he used so many florals like that even hand painted, but the prints did remind me alot of claassic balenciaga.
i agree totally, … i agree totally, and did all of you really not know bjork, midnight juggernauts and metronomy before the balenciaga show last season? come on seriously theyve been pretty popular.
Let’s not go there, … Let’s not go there, I love Balenciaga and Balenciaga IS French elegance as far as I’m concerned. I just find the music and choice of models particularly bad when compared to the other shows NG has done. And I’m not moved by the clothes especially the satin pieces. The prints are too messy and busy as well.
It highlights the … It highlights the delicacy in this collection, and I agree, there is something quintessentially French about both the collection and the music. It is a new look for Ghesquiere, though. While it resembles his early collections for Balenciaga, it isn’t as though he is a one trick pony who is returning to some older work he did.
Subtlety can often … Subtlety can often be wasted on the crass. The collection is not boring, but rather it is Parisian, restrained, somewhat austere and, as good art does, appropriately mirrors the times. Elegance and taste are always in style. The entire thing is divine.
me too what is that … me too what is that first track? need NOW!!! and by the way the collection was the only collection this season that slit a new path for a new direction for the rest of us patheic designers to follow for the next seasons ahead>>BOOOYA! you know what im talking about SISTERS!
Do you really think … Do you really think that? I think this is a top collection! He stepped out of his comfort-zone and did something totally different. It’s one of his best collections so far. And many agree with me.
horrible shoes, … horrible shoes, horrible materials, prints and dresses… it’s impossible give me more panic. boring music, and boring outfits without fashion concept. balenciaga is dead since 2007
this collection is … this collection is wonderful
very abrasive and bold
They exaggerated shoulder pads
and silky trousers are great,
the music is also great
Balenciaga is classic and timeless
i dont find this … i dont find this music boring at all, and it fits right in tune with ghesquieres chic, slightly retro parisian theme, because, its parisian, chic, and slightly retro music……
i guess you don’t … i guess you don’t understand that that is an exception and that the silence IS the soundtrack to that particular show. boring music being played is not the same as the lack of music used to make a statement.
the music is … the music is extremely important in setting the mood for the show. otherwise there wouldn’t be any music, they would all walk in silence and we would all watch in silence.
