Balmain Spring/Summer 2011 Lookbook
samedi 14 mai 2011 
The images seen here comprise the lookbook for the Balmain Spring/Summer 2011 collection for which Atelier Franck Durand (also known as the firm of Mr. Emmanuelle Alt) provided the art direction and Karim Sadli shot the photography. Our fabulous editor-at-large Kate Ringo Suzuki captures her impressions of Balmain's latest lookbook in a story about the main character, a wistful yet well-dressed lad.
Long ago and far away, way back in time, even before CBGB closed, there was a boy. A good boy who attended New York University and studied English Literature. He spent his spare time on streets and avenues that begin with the letter “B” like Bowery and Bleecker and Bond. To the boy, New York City seemed light years away from Boston Latin School. Back then he was such a good little prep. But then he moved to New York City and traded in his Ralph Lauren for edgier stuff and he blossomed. New York City helped the boy come out of his shell.
And now here he is on summer break visiting Fire Island. To tell you the truth, he is a bit bored. Fire Island is beautiful and all but the boy misses the big city. He wistfully reads a love letter from his boyfriend while listening to rockabilly in the background. He sighs and remembers the good times.
