Affordable Balmain?

Well, affordable as in, not a couple grand for something Balmain. I love diffusion lines of big designers becuase it gets me that little bit closer to owning a piece of luxury. Style.com said yesterday that a diffusion line is in the works and will be 40 to 50 percent cheaper than the main line!
Also, pictured above is the first Balmain sunglasses for Oliver Peoples Eyewear, only two styles will be sold, the first, Balmain I, to hit stores March at $595.

Disco Cavewoman

Style.com called Balmain's Spring 10 look, "Disco Cavewoman", it sounds like something StyleMixer would spit out.
The Spring 10 Balmain show still had big shoulders which is great because the structured shoulders make women feel powerful (and also slimmer) so I hope this look lasts for a while.
This jacket looks like the softest, most perfect fitting, perfect signature shouldered Balmain leather jacket. I want it now but unfortunately it is way out of reach. I will just have to wait for All Saints to hopefully replicate it next year.
