Rihanna vs Sean Garrett in Christian Louboutin Rollerball Spikes Loafers

Pop singer Rihanna was spotted out and about wearing a sleeveless blazer, denim shorts, with a pair of Christian Louboutin Rollerball Spikes loafers ($995). Music producer Sean Garret was also seen wearing the men’s version ($1,245) on the red carpet at last weeks taping of the 2010 BET Hip Hop Awards, which he styled with an all-black dressier look.
These Christian Louboutin Rollerball leather slip-on loafers feature metal studs all over which gives this classic style a rocker edge. Looking at both Rihanna and Sean Garrett’s outfits, who rocked these spiked Louboutins the best?  

Balmain Spring 2011 Menswear Collection Review

Balmain's Spring/Summer 2011 releases a collection full of edginess and urban-grunge influences over fashion this season. Going mostly for a darker area in chromatic styling, Christophe Decarnin puts an accent on a hidden masculine rough side into his designs.







The Balmain fashion house is one of the leading Parisian labels that was founded by fashion designer Pierre Balmain, the person who took his own brand to a high level in this industry. The “king of French fashion” reached success and popularity during the World War II, but after his death the label kept going down. His mark over the Balmain designs were known as being very sophisticated and elegant with lots of luxury and classic designs.

Today, the fashion designer Christophe Decarnin is the one that runs over Balmain since 2005 and he is the responsible for re-taking the brand once again to the top. Going for edgier and more sophisticated designs, Decarnin knows that his personal mark on Balmain is very successful for our new modern times.




If in his women's collections, Christophe Decarnin goes mostly for bold and outstanding designs, choosing silver and gold to maintain glamour and an unique appearance, in his menswear collections he chooses to take things to another chapter. He goes mostly for darker or neutral colors and classic cuts for the designs, by presenting minimalistic pieces that shine out through the attitude and personality that these clothes put in value.
