The Balenciaga Resort 2011 show may not have done much for me clothes-wise but the accessorise are right up my fucking alley. It was the rings that really caught my eye in bronze, silver and gold…and sure the word “industrial” is being thrown around a lot to describe these bad boys….but yeah, it’s definitely got that vibe about it. In bronze, silver and gold these rings look like they’ve been made out of clock parts and the spare bits in your Dad’s tool kit. I’m all about keeping it a bit fugly and goth, so the fact that designers have not totally abandoned goth in favour of shearling and pastels soothes my soul. Thank you Balenciaga. Thank you.
