Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2012

Matthew Schneier review

Nicolas Ghesquière has spent seasons making sportswear sportier and pushing ever farther into menswear's future. For Spring, he threw on the brakes, temporally and conceptually: He reintroduced the Balenciaga suit. It can't surprise any label fans that he can cut a very good one. These were two-button jobs, slim in the waist, through the arm, and down the leg, in wool-mohair blends. They were shown, like almost every look, with white turtlenecks as layering pieces for a slightly sixties spin.

Kanye West in Prada Embroidered Monkeys T-Shirt and Balenciaga Sneakers

It appears as if Kanye West is a Dallas Mavericks fan. He was spotted arriving to Lure Sushi Restaurant for dinner wearing a Just DON Dallas Maverick snakeskin cap and a limited edition Prada embroidered monkeys t-shirt from the Spring/Summer 2011 Collection (seen below in different colorways). Kanye finished off his look with a pair of mustard yellow pants and all white Balenciaga sneakers.

Balenciaga Men’s Espadrilles

These mid-tops espadrilles from Balenciaga will piss off the espadrille purists. We like them for their attempt to mix leathers into the picture and really making them into something new. Check that leather heel hit. Don’t worry, the jute sole remains. The black piping works as well.

Balenciaga Square Frame Sunglasses

Fresh from Balenciaga comes this pair of square frame sunglasses, a great fashionable pair of frames. Dark brown frames with gold tortoise details throughout, these frames are matched with ruddy brown lenses, making for a wonderful look.

Star Style - Orlando Bloom

Orlando Bloom was seen out in Paris with his pregnant wife Miranda Kerr wearing a biker jacket, grey Dior jeans, and a pair of Balenciaga sneakers in brown suede ($525 seen below in black and white leather) with a gum bottom. This is the first time I’ve seen this colorway and I wonder if it’s a store exclusive.

Balenciaga Fall Winter 2010 Mens Bags And Shoes

Lots of sporty influences can be found in the latest Fall Winter 2o10 Balenciaga Mens Bags and Shoes collection. I am glad the accessories do not take on the design direction of the very avant garde ready-to-wear collection, instead focusing on the classic pieces that fans have come to love.
