Balmain S/S2012rtw

Olivier Rousteing's big moment!!!




The young designer, having worked under Christophe Decarnin for two years, assumed the design reins at the house after his former boss' sudden departure in February.Considering his tender age (he's just 25), and the stakes (Balmain became a relatively big business in its boom years), we'd say Rousteing fared fairly well.

Rousteing looked to Nudie Cohn's rhinestone-covered Nudie suits and traditional toreador costumes for inspiration. "Mixing the tailoring of Mexico and the glamour of Vegas," was how he described his MO for Spring backstage. He also name-checked Oscar de la Renta, who preceded Decarnin, and Pierre Balmain himself, indicating, in so many words, that he'd like to bring a bit of class to this act.
Despite what the business guys at Balmain are looking for, the crowd assembled today doesn't want a watered-down rehash of Decarnin's successes. They want a new kind of sizzle. Negotiating that divide will be Rousteing's big challenge going forward.

take a quick look from Mugler runway S/S2012 rtw!!!

Nicolas Andreas Taralis S/S2012RTW









(obviously...)He loves George Lucas' first full-length film, THX 1138, and he used it as the starting point for his slightly futuristic collection.Taralis is a tailor and the pieces in this show, like all of his collections since landing back on the runway a couple of years ago, are street-ready. Lucas' movie was a dud at the box office, but Taralis' clothes have real potential at retail with their lived-in feel. And as my "friend" Nicole Phelps says :
"It has been nice to arrive in Paris to discover that priss has left the picture, at least momentarily."
Civil.a says : "The android police in THX 1138 wouldn't have approved, but i do...."
