Christophe Decarnin Updates His Look
Well not exactly so. For those of you that are just as concerned about what designers wear just as much as their collections themselves, you might have noticed in recent months that Christophe Decarnin was in dire need of something new. Back in January when Balmain Homme was just a rumor that spread like wildfire and everyone was anxiously awaiting what the man of the moment would create for men, I predicted that Decarnin would essentially clone himself and water-down his own personal style down into the label – and that he did.
Though I doubt we will ever see what legs lurk under Christophe Decarnin’s made to look destroyed jeans, while taking a bow at his Spring 2010 Women’s presentation on Thursday, the designer opted for a pair of motorcycle jeans fresh from the house’s men collection released only a few months back. While it my not be anything groundbreaking, it was step away from his comfort zone.
After all, don’t you remember the days when Marc Jacobs just couldn’t let go to his umm “distressed” trainers.
The trousers can be spotted on Clément Chabernaud in the Balmain Homme Spring 2010 ad, shot by Karim Sadli.
Decarnin looks 10,000x better in his own clothes than in that lookbook picture. the ad pictures are good too.what a difference hair makes, freja has such a cool factor.
"After all, don't you remember the days when Marc Jacobs just couldn't let go to his umm "distressed" trainers." Haha I love that line!! I remember those days all too well.
He looks so grimy and unkept, but so expensive and stylish at once. He's a rare breed that Decarnin. You definitely called it – that he'd inject/mimic his personal style for the men's line. I think the reason the mens line isn't as highly regarded as the womens is on account of the lack of shine lol jk but that could be the reason. Give me a bold shoulder and smear me in Swarovski – then we'd have something spectac.[K]
