Blamma Blamma Balmain!!

The Telegraph just published the above photo with a caption about how stars are all over the Michael Jackson-inspired Balmain, exaggerated-shoulder, military jacket. Funny how a trend trickles to common folk too... I have found myself selecting superwide shouldered jackets from secondhand clothing racks myself. Last week at the Montréal Academy of Art and Video Awards, (where my best friend picked up an award for his amazing video!!!), I saw two Fine Art students wearing impressive - albeit goofy - coats mimicking the above ones. Leave it to the art kids to figure out how to make a zany trend wearable.

Balmain


















Balmain presented in Paris yesterday with hyperhigh hemlines. Balmain's designer, Christopher Decarnin, triumphed last year by dressing the demure and adorable, Audrey Tautou, in a swathed, ivory silk muslin gown for the premiere of The DaVinci Code at Cannes in May 2006.
