Balmain Blasphemy...

*Sigh*
Balmain, Balmain, Balmain...
I was so looking forward to seeing this collection and frankly it isn't live up to my high expectations. I LOVED the SS09 collection so much that this one just couldn't meet the hype.
Their latest collection is:

a) Very costume like with lots of gold latex and of course a sprinkling of trademark sequins.
b) Alot pirate- think Keira Knightley from Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest in her big military style coat.
c) A bit of glam-meets-tramp with lots of distressed t-shirts and denim in dark hues.
d) NOT AT ALL Spring Summer-esque. There is no colour and the designs just don't jump out at me like they usually do.
