Yesterday I showed you pictures of the Balmain & Rue du Mail show, today I hope to amaze you with some other GREAT shows. (Some of you commented & I read this on other blogs too, the Balmain show was indeed a LOT like the spring/summer collection, and I couldn't agree more. I still love what he presented though, I just hope this won't be what we'll be seeing from Balmain for the next 5 seasons! Some change would be nice!)

Ok, back to business, I have some really great pictures from the Nina Ricci show. I was watching them with my mouth hanging open, totally surprised. You see, there were all these rumours going around that Nina Ricci FIRED Olivier Theyskens (I mean, seriously?) and I thought for his last collection (if the rumours are indeed true) he would, I don't know, keep it simple or so? Well, he didn't (and I'm GLAD he didn't!). See for yourself!




I don't really like the shoes in terms of being 'pretty', but they truly are amazing.

I love this glitter unitard, not very wearable, but gee, can I say amazing again?


And here are some of the looks:

Theyskens still makes THE most beautiful gowns.


Ok and I'm not finished yet, here are pictures from the Rick Owens show. Amazing shapes as usual, and even a colour other than black & grey, LIGHT BLUE!

OWENS, I OWE YOU

So here's the thing: I've never really been a big Rick Owens fan. I always thought of him as 'the designer with all the leather jackets that have flaps hanging everywhere'. Yes I know, it's ridiculous.
When I saw a picture of his show, the first thing I noticed was the nun cap (does that actually have a name?) And of course, it made me curious... And boy did he surprise me!

Everything kept getting better and better while I was browsing through the collection. Those last 3 looks... OH MY... I really need those. Seriously! I actually felt my heart beating faster! And the looks with the cutouts at the side! Wow, wow, wow.
There's one thing though, I'm not a big fan of the garbage bags aka shoes. I'm sure there will be people thinking otherwise, but for now, I'm not really getting it.
Why am I so in love with this collection? You tell me! What do you like/dislike about this collection!

If only nuns were that well-dressed in real life.
