Balmain designers must have cleared all of Paris from every last grommet, sequin and piece of chainmail in making this collection! Tina Turner (in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome) was sure one of the inspirations. I won´t bother you with the complete collection images as you can find them on Style.com or Fashionologie. I´ll just concentrate on the details. View all images in my blog photos set.

Shoulder pieces and epaulettes made from chains, zippers (like the ones in the first image) and what not. Fabulous.









Sequinned tops and jackets with cut-outs. I´ve had a few 80´s style fully sequinned tops in my wardrobe for a while now unused. Know I know what to do with them!




Destroyed tees and armyshirts. I wonder if a cheese grinder would make the same result? And add some chainmail underneath the holes.
