Sharpshooter.

The new shape for shoulders has definitely arrived. 

And it's fucking BANANAS. 

At Balmain Christophe Decarnin exaggerated the shoulder and drew it up to a wicked new height that I have been absolutely losing it over. Not only do I love the slim fit and cut of the jacket but I adore the fact that it creates the illusion of jutting shoulder blades.

It's anorexia in a jacket, and I'm living for it.

Super Structure.

This Nina Ricci coat would be the perfect foil to one of Balmain's itsy bitsy Ziggy Satrdust dresses.

Don't you agree?

Balmain's new Focus

While it may be limited to catwalkers with tomboy bodies and killer legs, the rock chic look has been triumphantly reinvented by Christopher Decarnin this season at Balmain. Billy Idol-izer's rejoice! The skintight metallic tubes and cropped/shirred ankle pants paired with rocker ankle booties and absolutely sick little jackets are perfect for a Saturday night at Villa or even a Tuesday at Hyde. Each and every model pounding down Balmain's fall runway looked like a Jagger darling, and Natasha Poly and Abbey Lee just drove home the point. The look is can only be described as "Turn on, tune in, drop out."
