Balmain's Five-Figure Dresses
Recession? What recession? Perhaps you should ask Christophe Decarnin that question the next time you see him. The House of Balmain, as you know, is currently going through a resurgence, thanks to the blessing of the ultra chic Vogue Paris team.
Anyway, some of Christophe's latest confections are now available for purchase online.
Strapless mini-dress (€15,574), tulle ankh gown (€15,574) and one-sleeved gathered and torn mini-dress (€15,314) all by Balmain.
I'd like to point out that never in the history of the internet I have seen CURRENT-SEASON dresses being sold at this price point on teh interwebs. I've seen other high-ticket items being sold online such as jewelry, watches, cars, etc but current season ready-to-wear?

A lot of high-fashion retailers are being safe with their selections especially in these wild times of global financial turmoil so it's extremely fascinating how Luisa Via Roma in Italy have decided to carry these high-ticket runway pieces from Balmain.
With that being said, all three dresses come in one size only -- French 38. They're available for pre-order and they'll arrive at the store on/around the last week of March.
