Mój dzisiejszy outfit jest inspirowany stylem militarnym. Wszyscy doskonale pamiętamy tę kolekcję Balmain (wiosna/lato 2010), która według mnie najpełniej oddaje ten trend.
Balmain jest jednym z najstarszych i najbardziej luksusowych domów mody. Jego historia sięga 1945 roku kiedy to Pierre Balmain początkowo student architektury, założył firmę. Aż do jego śmierci (tzn.1982 roku) korporacja cieszyła się wielkim uznaniem wśród gwiazd takich jak: Marlena Dietrich, Katharine Hepburn, Sophia Loren i Brigitte Bardot. Już wtedy konkurował z Christianem Dior’em, tworząc oprócz eleganckich kreacji, stroje przeznaczone do noszenia na co dzień. Jego następcami byli kolejno: Erik Mortensen (asystent Pierraa), Oscar de la Renta. Kiedy funkcję projektanta przejął Laurent Mercier, Balmain popadło w długi i wkrótce potem zbankrutowało. Świetność marce przywrócił Christopher Decarnin, absolwentem Esmod (l’Ecole Supérieure des Arts et techniques de la Mode Esmod) w Paryżu, wcześniej pracował jako dyrektor artystyczny dla Paco Rabanne, a także był konsultantem wielu francuskich marek. Projekty Decarnina są odważne i innowacyjne. Tworzą wizerunek kobiety silnej, która nie boi się zostać zauważona.
Kolekcja wiosna/lato 2011 jest rockowa. Dominują w niej kolory takiej jak biel, czerń i czerwień. Mniej jest tym razem złota . Ubrania są porozrywane, pospinane agrafkami i nabite ćwiekami. Moją uwagę w tej kolekcji przykuły jednak rzeczy, wyglądające tak jakby ktoś wylał na nie niechcący kubeł z farbą. Co myślicie o takim pomyśle na DIY?

My today’s outfit is inspired by a military style. We all remember this Balmain(spring/summer 2010) collection, which, in my opinion, fulfills this trend. Balmain is one of the oldest and most luxurious fashion houses. It’s history takes back into 1945, when Pierre Balmain, originally architecture student, started his own company. The corporation had a great response among celebrities such as Marlena Dietrich, Katherine Hepburn, Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot until the day he died(in 1982). Back in the day he competed with Christian Dior, creating casual clothes among elegant outfits. His successors were: Erik Mortensen (Pierre’s assistant), Oscar de la Renta. When Laurent Mercier became a designer Balmain fell into debts and has soon bankrupted. The greatness to the brand came back due to the arrival of Christopher Decarnin, a graduate of Esmod (Ecole Supérieure des Arts et techniques de la Mode Esmod), who has worked as an artistic manager for Paco Rabanne and has also been a consultant for lots of French brands earlier. Decarnin’s designs are courageous and innovative. They create an image of a strong, not-afraid-of- being-noticed woman. A spring/summer collection is rock oriented. Whites, blacks and reds are dominating, this time there’s less of gold. The clothes are torn apart, sewed with safety pins and filled with studs. My attention was brought by items which looked like someone had accidently sloshed a can of paint on them. What do You think about this idea for DIY? Balmain spring/summer collection show can be seen here.
