[ the fabulous FIVE ]

I've been crazy about these 5 rings since I saw them on the SS13 runway...

Meanwhile I've seen them on plenty of editorials, 

and I do understand why stylists love them so much. I do, too.

Thank you Nicolas Ghesquière - your last collection for Balenciaga 

was breathtakingly beautiful & unforgettable!

The set of 5 gold-brass rings are finally available:

[ BALENCIAGA - the end of an era ]

Here some news that really make me sad....

Nicolas Ghesquière announced his departure at the end of the month.

One of my very first internships was at BALENCIAGA and... oh, how I admired this man!!

Since then I look up to him with so much respect and fascination. 

What will Balenciaga be without him? 

This is hard to imagine....

[ FLORABOTANICA ]

Kristen Stewart is the face for BALENCIAGA's new woman's perfume FLORABOTANICA (due in September). Photographer Steven Meisel captured Kristen in a fantasy garden of prints & collage of flowers, 

wearing a dress from Balenciaga's spring 2008 collection.

Nicolas Ghesquière described the Florabotanica flacon as being like a laboratory bottle into which the striped tube can be dipped to cull the botanical garden’s extract. Similarly, the scent’s invented name is meant to have both a scientific and natural ring.
