Paris Fashion Week is on and Carine and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld were seated front row for Balmain. I love what Carine is wearing here as well as the fact that she can wear those shoes with absolutely anything and look smashing. She is perfectly in keeping with the jungle chic vibe of the collection. Christophe Decarnin is sheer genius, I love the military jacket and tank he paired with the teeny leather shorts.
Here Carine is shown front row for Balenciaga in another fabulous look. The lightness of the hat and the shoes perfectly balance the solid darkness of the jacket and skirt and the sunglasses underneath the floppy brim provide just the right touch of insouciance. Nicolas Ghesquiere's creations look to be mindblowing as usual and she must have been happy that the show was held in the Hôtel de Crillon.
