even though some say that Ghesquiere's collection for Balenciaga Spring '08 is not that innovative, I disagree with that completely. this collection was what made me WANT fashion. like somebody said at the end of the video, "he is on the thinnest edge of cutting edge." and i agree. the contrast of the romantic, soft floral prints with the harsh silhouette was dvine. I loved it.
I adore constructed/stiff designs. Not sure about the floral prints though, something about some of those washed-out floral designs that just weaken the collection for me. Its a great idea to toy and mix a powerful structure with something as fragile as flowers... but its doesn't come across that startling or innovative to me. The layers on the skirts are great though and the giant voluminous shoulder s.
Balenciaga is an ah-mazing designer brand. They have really made florals look beautiful and sophisticated. Those gladiator sandals aren't my style, but I would totally pair one of the mini dresses with some stockings, which are coming back.
I also love their handbags. Seriously, I can't resist buying every one I see. Lol. I'm a shopaholic.
I love those boots, the short bottoms and the loud prints, but the clothes look stiff and boxy to me. I'm also not a fan of the round, pronounced shoulders- but over all, I like how unique the designs are.
As a person who's very interested in fashion (not necessarily EDUCATED in fashion), I'm noticing that Sprng 2008 is featuring alot of edgy floral looks, especially from Balenciaga. I think it's lovely.
The style is repetitive and the floral prints reminds me of my grandmother's closet and some heavy drapery you would see in an old person's house. I don't think it's futuristic at all, it just looks like he put blocks together and slapped on some loud huge floral prints on it and called it "fashion" :\
Balenciaga new york store has the worst, most unprofessional customer service ever!
