now is then

I was determined to post the Paris Fashion Week menswear highlights tonight but alas my stomach's state of emptiness prevents me from refocusing my attention from food and onto blogging. Instead, you will find this shorter post about one of the aspects that I found more fascinating about the FW10 Dries Van Noten show. I couldn't get the FW07 Balenciaga collection out of my head while looking at these pictures. Coming from Dries, however, I took this obvious reference as a genius twist on Nicolas Ghesquière's FW07 collection rather than as plagiarism —a generosity gesture so men can wear DVN and feel like wearing vintage Balenciaga. All at once. Behold.

Thank you so much! :D I'm so flattered! I feel that menswear is a bit more challenging as there isn't that much variety to choose from. But I think the Fall 2010 will be great season to actually wear them, I'm so glad there wasn't anymore any of the old "emo" -trend. I have to say it aloud, I am a fan of modern and sleek lines.
