Balmain Love




a/w 09

We thought we would feature Balmain as it has been so influential this season. Power shoulders and embellisment are all over the high street and they have sprung up at The Affordable Vintage Fashion Fair too! I found this great example on one stall.





Sequins and shoulder pads... perfection! And look at all the sequins they had brought along...



We were swooning over this glitz ALL weekend! But this trend is trully rooted in the 80's... we couldn't resist posting the Dynasty crew. Amazing!

  1. Lovelovelove the Balmainia going on atm!

    No matter what anyone says, sequins can be worked morning, noon and night!

    Notice how the high street has picked up on the sequinned butterfly top trend: £45 at New Look, or vintage (and better quality) for £15. I know which option I prefer...

  2. i agree
    there are some great vintage sequin bargains to be had!
    that's why they call us 'affordable'!
    i'd much rather have a unique one off item than a mass produced one
