Since he became the head of Balenciaga in 1997, Nicholas Ghesquière has proven to be one of the more creative designers in the industry and is always pushing the label more and more each season. His AW 2010 show in the Hôtel de Crillon, Paris was a continuation of that originality he posesses.
In what can only be described as a possible look at fashion in the land of space, Ghesquière's futuristic show was a mixture of padded jackets, graphic designs and square suits. In keeping with the theme, the runway was even lit up from underneath which Ghesquière explained was inspired by Stanley Kubrick's 2001 movie 'A Space Odyssey'.
The opening jackets were padded to give a very domestic silhouette and sci-fi feel but it is yet to see if they will prove wearable. There were plenty of knits in crazy, beautiful prints and a good range of colours. Hair was swept over to the side and make up was nude, letting the clothes do the talking. But it was not just the clothes that were eye catching, the shoes were also not to be missed! They were high, platformed, blocked and made of leather and plastic.
Ghesquière's collection was very fresh and adventurous. The setting was luxurious and creative while the choice of models was very strong including the return again this season of Miranda Kerr (pictured, middle). A definate highlight of Paris so far.
