Resort 2012 | Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquière
Good, non? Normally, wouldn’t talk about the collection for spring, resort (or whatever you call ‘em) this early, but as a teaser, why not? Cap shoulder, bell sleeves, straight-flare leggy bottom – an inspirational silhouette that, twisted and evolved, echos his early work at Balenciaga in the Noughties, a new stylish look for today. Clever as always (w/ poison water story line), love the fact that it’s dominated by clothes that are colourful and full of design elements, rather strong for a pre-collection, honestly, and very wearable too.
