I can't get over how Balenciaga's new latex line is ALL OVER the news....here's another pic.....this one's of a Samurai coat, part liquid latex, part latex rubber, part other stuff....

Why do Balenciaga's models all have the same dark eye makeup with an I'm-going-to-kill-then-eat-you expression?

Balenciaga, the fashion house designed by legendary Nicolas Ghesquiere (did I spell that right) recently showed their Fall 2008 clothing line....modern, elegant, risky, and very very edgy.  

He designed a couple of modern takes on the classic black cocktail dresses, but what drew the most attention were his slim cut latex dresses.  His approach wasn't fetish, like Gaultier or Galliano, but the result was modern and wearable latex fashions.  See black cocktail dress (left), latex womanly dress (middle), and liquid latex dress (right).
