BALMAIN SPRING 2021

 I have never denied that Olivier Rousteing has talent and lots of it to spare but I very often ask who is whispering in his ear. The designers needs to undergo a rectal craniotomy, a procedure that removes one’s head from their ass! Has he not been paying attention these past 6 months or maybe this was the audition collection for the Mike Pence Space Force or lastly maybe he has become a tad too friendly with that Rooskie Demna who thought he’d change the face of fashion?

Whatever the scenario, the result is totally out of synch with the time and so extreme to be comic book like or costume like for some intergalactic movie extravaganza. The pity of it all is that take away those absurd shoulder pads and day glow colors and reproportion those clothes and there are some pieces of staggering beauty. Again, if my grandmother had balls…

What a tone-deaf waste of time and energy to strictly cater to the label whores who will have nowhere to wear these clothes but at least hopefully with a mask since those pesky COVID numbers keep rising in Paris as well as other hot spots around the world.

This is strictly a case of what might have been if someone had reigned him in and asked wtf are you thinking?
