A Balance of Fashion And Forward....

Balenciaga takes center stage on the accessories catwalks for F/W 2008! As a designer, It's very important to shine in contrast to every other designer out there. From the "formal" labeling as a trendsetter, to the space-tech genie. It all counts. It's about individualism. Placing your signature on your own collection. This is what triggers a trend, long before the acclaim begins. Balenciaga, never ceases to fail! I am in a euphoric state of shoe heaven, because once again... Balenciaga has stolen my ♥ for fall (reminds me of the fall 2007 accessory collection! oh gawd!) Brilliant! It has exceedingly moved past shoe shapes, structure, and height. We've now elevated to pure genius. Take a peek!













The facts about 'collective study' or trend research in Balenciaga's case, is it's *clearly* ALL about interpretation. This form of brilliance only comes from an internal instinct. Fortunately it cannot be pulled/created through modern fashion trend reports. (I don't care how 'good' you are.) Sorry, to all the 'up & coming tee shirt designers! (not to be so crass, or discredit the contribution) lol There are just certain 'leagues' of innovation and Balenciaga always stands front and center! *This* is what makes history. I appreciate the architectural influences continually translated. Balenciaga undoubtedly defines fashion forward elements continually, so far ahead of the 'game'...that most people are literally light years behind. Bravo once again, Balenciaga! I am in ♥
