BALMAIN, TOO MUCH OF AN OK THING

BIG BIG HUGS to Jane Keltner, fashion news editor at Teen Vogue, who has the awesome skill of reading my mind. In a brief one page manifesto in the Dec/Jan issue, she offers an informed and pleasant critique of what she (and now I) dubs THE BALMAINETTES.

You know them, you love them, you loathe them. Copycats clothed in black minis, serious shooties, and rockstar attitude, it's the night time version of the "model off-duty" look. And quite frankly, I am so bored. Not all of us want a badass uniform.

Give me something fresh, individualistic and smidge more subtle, so that, you know, I can feel something. Or think something.

Oh Jane, it feels good to know that I am not alone.
