Nick Verreos Takes a Look at Balmain Fall 2010: Runway Video!

Goldfinger: Balmain Fall 2010 Gold Leather Gown

I think we can now officially say that Christophe Decarnin for Balmain is to this Decade what Tom Ford for Gucci was to the 90's. Seeming to pick up right where Tom Ford left off, Decarnin is providing his women with Sexy, Edgy Clothing that was such an integral part of the Tom Ford Gucci Era.

This isn't to say that Christophe is doing a Gucci-Knock off Collection, he is way too talented for that. Instead he cleverly weaves his signature Rock and Roll style with the sexy 90's theme that seems to be a strong trend of the season. There were plenty of pantsuits that were done in a variety of styles mixing his signature Military accents with sophisticated brocades and "After Six" pinstripes.Beaded Brocade: Balmain 2010 Mini Dress

But to me, the stand-outs in the collection were the plethora of mini dresses done in an endless variety of shapes and fabrications. This is sure to have every young Starlet and Supermodel from here to Moscow clamoring to be the first to wear these sexy creations. Above Decarnin cleverly continues the brocade theme with a completely beaded brocade mini!

The color palette was tight with heavy accents of Gold and sumptuous Plums and Purples. As always, Christophe accessorized the collection with studded belts and military-esque boots to give all the designs a very edgy and relevant vibe.

Let's see which actress will be the first to show up wearing one of these sexy pieces!!

Boots over Skinny Jeans and Trench Coats: My Traveling Outfit!
My I'm-Going-To-Florence-Italy-in-Business-Class ensemble...

Men's Fashion Week for Autumn/Winter 2010/11 just began in Milan and here's a peak of what the most fashionista (of the male persuasion) will be looking like.My I-am-Going-Out Ensemble...

I really, really like the Burberry Prorsum Collection (the HIGH end line) designed of course by Christopher Bailey. It's all about wearing your boots outside your skinny trousers (or jeans) and a tight cinched trench coat with a turned-up collar. I am all there! there was also a top and a coat with heavy gold metal paillette-looking detail which I need to HAVE!! I love the haircuts too--so cute!
