Because it's a short promo-video, I cannot make a clear judgment, but I must say I am bit disappointed that the clothes featured on the video looks almost identical to the previous BALMAIN stuff. Most obvious one was the double slanted zipper, biker style pants. I don't know, maybe this is a good news for those who love BALMAIN but can't afford it, but I thought it would lead BALMAIN to lose its loyal & core customers. Not many people can afford to spent £800-£1200 on a pair of jeans but people who do, do that because not many brands offer that kind of exclusive(ridiculous) price tag on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, besides the good design factor. Those customers who buy the original BALMAIN don't want to see people full of wearing same or similar looking clothes that only costs 1/5 of what they HAD to pay for theirs. And the worst part is that these clothes that only cost 1/5 of the original, even have the legit brand labels too, one that sounds even more authentic rather than a diffusion line : PIERRE BALMAIN, the full name of the founder of BALMAIN!
I think I am just pissed off because Decarnin left BALMAIN, the new collection for 2012 S/S doesn't look good at all, and I bought a pair of jeans, which will be knocked off by PIERRE BALMAIN in the near future.
