Everyone's Doing The Balmain Soulder!


The Legendary Christophe Decarnin for Balmain


Maison Martin Margiela (went to the point)


Ungaro


Jean Paul Gaultier


Karl Lagerfeld


Givenchy


Nina Ricci


Remember when we first saw those on the spring runways? I personally thought, NO WAY! But on my trip to milan I saw the Balmain jacket everywhere, and the black dresses with poofed shoulders a la V beckham were also big. comme ca:


Victoria Beckham f/w 09



They actually worked!
That being said, I think designers are overdoing it on the fall runways though, with the exception of Balenciaga which took it down a notch.



What do you think, Balmain shoulders: yaiy or naiy?

I love it..

but why do you call this particular style "Balmain shoulders"?
was it invented by the house of Balmain?
