The Devil Wears Balmain



Yes my dear fashionistas, the legendary Balmain jacket with strong square shoulders was right there in front of me at Al Othman. It was love at first sight (which, only exists in fashion!). Pure magnificence.. Pure power… Pure Balmain. My fave is the plain one. Hated the military and the embellished ones.

Al Othman is located at Mariam Complex, Salem AlMubarak St, Salmiya. For inquires, please call (+965) 2-575-4954.

But with Balmain and such a tailored piece price tag is important :)

shda3waaa.. tara wayid wayid ga6een 3ala il nass o msaween balmain shay that its not! its just riding its momentary uniqueness in the fashion world as a newly-reinvented trashy-luxe brand. although they do have some nice stuff, its not all that. IMHO

Bahrain FashionWell I think now they made their mark in fashion history

Miss ghesquiereIn todays fashion's super fast pace, it means something when every fashion media in the world feature Balmain's creations.

BebeI didn't like Balmain's :)

Agreed with miss ghesquiere.
the shoulders are a comeback from a variety of designers mainly margiela who STILL does them.
i suggest any true fashionista to check his MMM collection out specially the anniversary collection ;)
balmain is way overpriced no matter how much money one has got, it is rather uncool and bad taste nowadays to spend that much on something that carine, emanuelle et al endorse religiously.
christophe needs a knock on his head so does balmains CEO if they wanna ONE DAY make any profit

this simply stands out as a tribute to the king.. michael jackson! remember his weird suits and jackets.. how Balmain is that?
Actually on a more serious note, I loooove the defined cuts of the whole collection. It totally embodies the attitude we need to adapt in these hard times, strong cuts and bold lines!

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
