Apparently, it will be launched at Men's Fashion Week in Paris next January. Decarnin has transformed the Balmain label into a fashion so on the edge it's almost falling off and his collections have become a staple at each season's Paris shows. The Balmain show of this season...

Balmain, spring 2009 Grab a fan, men, because your wardrobe options for next fall are about to heat up. Balmain is expected to show its first full men's collection in January at Men's Fashion Week in Paris. The label's cheapest women's T-shirt costs $1,500, so we shudder to think what a pair of trousers will cost you. But it's not like you can afford anything now anyway. [ WWD ] Read more posts by...

Now that New York Fashion Week is but a distant memory, the front rows of Paris Fashion Week—which ends Oct. 5—are crowded with editors, socialites and actresses. At the Balmain show, Derek Blasberg sat alongside Milla Jovovich and Paul Anderson . French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld and her daughter Julia Restoin-Roitfeld attended the Christian Dior Spring 2009 show, and Tinsley Mortimer made an appearance...

Is Riccardo Tisci in cahoots with Christophe Decarnin? The edgy Givenchy show at Paris Fashion Week had a lot in common with the headline grabbing Balmain show from earlier this week.

In one more season it may seem formulaic, but for now, Balmain is rocking the runway. With a raw mix of jacket and pant combos, bandage dresses, and slashed gowns, this collection is party and afterparty ready. Remember Balmain's sultry Fall season ? With its highly coveted (and already worn by Carine Roitfeld and daughter ) party dresses and wild cut-outs? They're back, and they're better than ever....
