The Collection

The components are:

- Leather structured hooded vets

- Skinny Leather patchwork Jean

- Panel strip tank

- the new kilt skirt

- The Slash tunic dress

- color block dress w/ exposed zipper

- the open toe boot

- Bold print

- Graphic patchwork

It’s all in the details

The level of ingenuity and innovation found in this collection is unsurpassed.

- What appears to be skinny denim is actually vegetable-dyed patch work leather.

- The "hoodie" is engineered from molded leather, woven jersey, and nylon foam.

- The ankle sections of the boots are either hand-loomed fabric or a meltdown of blue, white, and green strips of leather, laser-compressed into a striated amalgam that looks like Play-Doh. Gorgeous!!!

- There were amazing vest that were a collage of elements, a mix of recycled fabrics and natural-looking hemp weaves.

- The chic coat-dresses—patched with streaks of lemon and green—against textured beige spiraled leather togas contrasted with painted suede.

- The last group of mind-bending latticework skirts were like porcupine quills, flashing shots of green and maroon in their movement.

Final Thought

Nicolas Guestuier ,(guess-tee-air), is a true artist. Pushing the technology in the industry forward through his use of unusual materials and techniques.

For Spring 2010 the Balenciaga woman is ready for whatever the big city has to offer.
