I love your style - Military

DIY tip: Go to any second hand store ( Second Time around on Long Street in Cape Town is amazing ) and buy one of their amazing blazers for cheap cheap and then simply sew gold rope from any fabric store onto the shoulders of the jacket, then add military buttons! Easy as Pie.

More Balmain-ia S/S2010












There has never been a designer followed so much by the mass commercial market than Balmain. Christopher Decarnin creates and within a year every department in the world is stocking the trends he showcases. It is a phenomenon never quite seen before. He is my favourite designer - no one compares to his brilliance.
Trends: Metallic, Military, Leather, Studs, Embellishment, Shorts, Cut-out, The Power Shoulder.

Transferable Trend

Remember that clever little transfer bracelet Chanel did for all its Fashion week guests (posted 3 weeks ago) well they were all over the runways this season - you also remember Rodarte's body paint don't you? Well this trend was far more wearable than Rodarte or JP Gaultier and is set to be a big time trend! Our only problem? the only transfers we can get our hands on usually involve hearts or anchors with the words, 'Mum' on - hardly high fashion! So it was a relief when I saw Chanel is now selling them in boutiques and Selfriges from the 1st of March. Transfers are the new statement jewellery !
