Sometimes there is a fine line between summer suits and looking like you are wearing an airline attendant uniform. For resort 2011, Balenciaga crossed that line. I am betting the fabrics in this collection are sublime, but a lot of the garish colours and prints look like they should be made into check-out girl uniforms, not luxury clothing. In fact, some of the prints could have also been used to make upholstery fabrics for buses and trains. Not the strongest of collections…
I love…
Balenciaga goes on safari.
this slightly acid-washed shirt dress.
I loathe…
looking like a 1960's air stewardess.
this print on a pantsuit. It could maybe work as a dress. Maybe.
more tacky, printed clothing.
that I can't even find the words to describe this... It is bad.
