Balmain Nostalgia For '90s America

I know there are so many hardcore Balmain lovers on the blogs, but ... (wince)... I reaaallly dislike what we saw today. I love (often swoon over) everything about fashion, but I don't always have to like it. Kind of like a relative. (Whatever 'it' may refer to: it be an entire collection, or when something was just too much (as Nina Garcia likes to point out quite frequently), or awful dirty shredded short shorts (see below). Anyone feel the same way?
