This is Discount Universe…. very punky…  very downtown… very Grace Jones…. I love love love it! photos: Vogue

It was Egypt meets Paris at Balmain this season…. the strong shoulders unique to Balmain coupled with geometric patterns and the mix of cutting edge fabrics with classic tweeds and denim made for a futuristic, modern take on the classic, polished Balmain silhouette. It was a one of Balmain’s best …

Manish Arora’s latest collection was a sweet surprise with fantastic cake purses, candy electric colors, and technicolor tiger heads placed in strategic places!
