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.

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!

The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
