Balmain: Spring 2011 collection

Balmain has been anything but light-handed and conservative lately. Christophe Decarnin's designs for the fashion house are laden with refined aggression and strike the perfect balance between anarchy, party glamour and raw sex appeal. The designer has come a long way from his debut collection for the label back in Fall 2006. And with every season, we are able to witness how Decarnin is evolving as a designer as he becomes more confident and comfortable working for Balmain. Over the seasons, we have seen Decarnin slowly steer the label from one that was considered to be the go-to brand for ladylike evening wear to one that is considered to be one of the sexiest and most rebellious labels in the industry. Skin tight pants, leather, ripped t-shirts, embellished jackets, sequined mini-dresses, thigh-high slits and way high strappy heels are commonplace in a Balmain collection now and each piece is in high demand despite the astounding price tag on it.

Therefore this season comes as no surprise. Decarnin's latest collection for Balmain is almost a natural step for the label. Spring 2011 is infused with a sense of rock 'n' roll culture and punk rock trends - the Parisian way of course. The collection is a far cry from the lighter palettes that are normally used for the warmer seasons and is instead comprised mainly of red, black, white, denim and - in true Balmain style - lots of sparkle,sheen and leather. Exquisite, heavily embroidered soft leather motorcycle jackets have been paired with ripped tops and beaded bustiers. And when combined with tight leather pants and tiny sequined shorts and miniskirts, the effect is a unique look that is somehow extremely wild and glamorous at the same time.

I do like this collection but I feel that it is a little more grungy than glamourous for me. I am extremely fond of Decarnin's dresses and this collection didn't have a single one so I am a little disappointed. Not his best collection to date by any means (see Balmain: Best of the Decarnin era) but it should be noted that Decarnin has set some very high standards for himself and in fact his latest work features some truly outstanding pieces and showcases his brilliant creativity. But I'm still keeping my fingers crossed in the hopes to see a slightly a more polished and glamourous rebellion in the Fall 2011 collection.

The Best Designs of Spring 2011 (all designers)

Being the fashion addict that I am, I usually tend to go through all my favorite designers' collections every season. This year, having started my own fashion blog, I took it upon myself to provide my readers with a comprehensive summary of the best designs of the Spring 2011 season. And in order to truly find the best of the best, I set about going through the collections of all the major designers I could think of. After a week of toiling in front of my laptop, I was finally able to put together the most outstanding pieces of the Spring 2011 season and although the final slideshow is somewhat longer than I hoped, there was noway to cover as many designers as I did in anything less.

To get you the best of best of the Spring 2011 fashion, I considered the collections of all the designers I could think of, and to make sure I didn't leave any major label out of the running, I used the list of designers available on InStyle.com and meticulously went through it in alphabetical order. And despite going through at least a few hundred collections (no joke) only the following labels have created designs that have made their way into this highly elite list:

- Anna Sui

- Alexanger McQueen

- Balenciaga

- Giorgio Armani

- Balmain

- BCBG

- Bottega Venetta

- Burberry

- Carolina Herrera

- Roberto Cavalli

- Chanel

- Christian Dior

- DKNY

- Diane Von Furstenburg

- Dries Van Noten

- Elie Saab

- Emilio Pucci

- Etro

- Giambattista Valli

- Givenchy

- Gucci

- Hermes

- Herve Leger

- Jean Paul Gaultier

- John Galliano

- L'Wren Scott

- Marchesa

- Marc Jacobs

- Missoni

- Louis Vuitton

- Narcisco Rodriguez

- Oscar de la Renta

- Matthew Williamson

- Nina Ricci

- Valentino

- Vera Wang

- Versace

- Viktor & Rolf

- Vivienne Westwood

- Yves Saint Laurent

- Zuhair Murad

To see the list, view the slideshow [at the beginning of this post] or you can browse through the photo gallery which is organized in alphabetical order.

Chanel: The Best Fashion Show of Spring 2011

Out of all the fashion shows I went through to create this list, the Chanel show for Spring 2011 was truly breathtaking in every single way. Not only did the show feature what are, without a doubt, some of the most exquisite designs of the season, but it was also truly a joy to watch.

Set around a fountain in the famous Parisian monument the Grand Palais, some of the world's highest ranking supermodels walked gracefully down the vast, black and white runway wearing Karl Lagerfeld's lust-worthy creations for Spring 2011. What's more is that the grand show was set to Thomas' Roussel's interpretation of Jardin D'Eden and The Bittersweet Symphony played live by L'Orchestre Lamoureux who were set up within the venue and also featured Lagerfeld's muse from the 80s, supermodel Ines de la Fressange. The show did a fantastic job of capturing the true essence of Chanel that can only be described as true Parisian elegance. You should watch the show (see end of this post for a video of the full show) for yourself to truly understand what the fuss [and Chanel] are all about.

Chanel Spring 2011 show - Grand Palais, Paris.

Other honorable mentions would be the Jean Paul Gaultier and John Galliano shows for Spring 2011. As always, these masters of the fashion world continue to dominate the top spots in the industry and for good reason; year after year they have consistently put together some of the most inspiring and extravagant shows in the world. Watch them below:

I'M GOING TO TRY IT STARTING FROM TOMORROW! Shall stock up on Twiggies & fruits~

Anyhow, last night i read about diets...

Here are some diets i read about and if the Twiggies diet doesn't work for me, i'll proceed to try the ones below...

THE CHEWING DIET

Chew each bite over 32 times = 30 seconds. Lets say you have 30 min for lunch, when you spend more time chewing, you'll end up eating lesser cus you will not be able to finish up your meal on time.

THE SLEEPING DIET

Sedate yourself for days! (but a bit hard to get sleeping pills right? :(( cus i really wanna try this)

Read this site for more diets! I wouldn't try the rest though...only the ones i mentioned above.
