Balenciaga fall-winter 2011 collection


And in a season where we've seen dresses over pants from nearly every designer, Ghesquiere's take was bar none. Draped and colorblocked silk chemise dresses were the height of cool over slim-fitting, foam wool pants with small slits in the back, letting them rest easily over the high heels. When the next show had started an hour later, editors were still talking about how much there was to wear--and how they needed to start saving up now. It was quite a turnaround for Ghesquiere, whose last few runway collections have been wonderfully conceptual, but not necessarily accessible.
