What people call Balmain-ia is something you can easily understand if you cast a glance at Balmain's new collection for a/w 09-10.Christophe Decarnin spoke clearly,showing us that even our pyzamas
"must" have
shoulder pads.As far as,one of key pieces for this season are blazers
,be limited to a blazer with shoulder pads.Concerning other types of clothing such as tops or dresses,Christophe gave us some ideas .Because shoulder pads tend to be so eccentric and surely reach the limit of our imagination you need something to bring the balance to your set.This will be your hair...
Leave your hair free,not make them look so cool or strange,don't put something on them but free them.The next step is to wear colourful hosiery if your dress is only black, or nude hosiery if your dress is a glamourous colour such as blue.Wear ankle booties in a neutral colour,black for black or grey dress,silver for blue dress,gold for brown dress etc or sandals with studs.Be careful the colour of studs,if they are gold or silver so to be matched with your dress.In the other side,if we refer to a top,to give a military style wear it with skinny jeans.If your top is one colour,wear classic skinny jeans and make the surprise with your shoes.Wear something with studs or something more classic but heeled.Heels with skinny jeans make longer trunk body.Don't forget something:When something is so eccentric and known,its almost sure that it's not going to be worn next season.So invest to something cheaper than you would do for something timeless,because shoulder pads are not timeless,are just the statement for this season!
