Balenciaga CutOuts Boots | Endangered Shoe Porn
2012 has been the stage of major changes at the head of some of the most influential fashion brands such as Saint-Laurent Paris (with Hedi Slimane) or even Balenciaga (Alexander Wang taking over Nicholas Ghesquière). Some of their flagship products are subject to intense (and worrying…) discussions on forums to decide whether or not to invest now in such and such products that might soon disappear… That’s why, we wanted to introduce the unique Balenciaga Cut Out Boots: this is the kind of pair (like Chloé’s Susanna) fashionistas will notice on you! If Santa delivers a 1,000€ cheque, you know what you have left to do… Read the rest of this entry »

Reversible Cotton and Leather Trench Coat
I think a trench coat is one of the most versatile pieces of clothing you can get. You can wear it with almost anything, to go to work, whenever it rains, with a tied or loosed belt, with collar up or down. The possibilities are multiplied by the genius of Balenciaga with this reversible cotton and leather trench coat stored at Mr Porter. The piece itself is absolutely simple with hidden front buttons and no apparent useless detailing. However, the inside is fully lined with black cotton and leather so you can wear it reversed for a more grungy look ! How brilliant. Take a closer look after the break! Read the rest of this entry »
Why Mount street in London is so hot ?
The story of Mount Street:
During the last two years, this once deserted street of Mayfair, Mount Street, is now so prised that international brands struggle to have a store there! Why then ?
Pioneering in 2008, Marc Jacobs was the first brand to settle in the street (2 stores actually) among all the other traditional activities like butcher Allen of Mayfair. Daring bet! Since then, several other hot brands contacted the Grosvenor company to negociate a lease on the street (800 €/sq meter/year, a bargain in comparison with New bond street). To quote but few of them Louboutin, Balenciaga, Lanvin, Goyard or even Aesop . Consumers who already like these hot niche brands will definitely look for them coz they want to be trend-setters. I personally found out about this street because I have a Marc Jacobs tee with the address on it…You now have several good reasons to walk on Mount Street! New shopping hotspot of London!
Note: In 3 years, the part of Mount street between the Connaught hotel and park street saw its real estate renting price almost doubled!!

The timeless red officer and the navy blue are still omnipresent: either you consider we’re on the military fashion trend or you think these colors have just become essential for brands like Balenciaga!
