Balenciaga brought C3PO leggings into style last season, and for Spring 2009, Nicolas Ghesquière is sticking with the theme with pieces like the galactic tunic. Paired with a longsleeved white shirt, he sent a model down the runway at Paris Fashion Week in a glitzy jumper that looked more like fish scales than a high end dress.
And did you take a look at the tights?
Implications - The pearly tights have patterns at the bottoms that make it look like they morph into shoes! The wild effect of the tights fits in with the spaced-out dresses perfectly. It's safe to say that the Balenciaga Spring 2009 Ready-To-Wear collection is out of this world!
