Pretty Pictures





What do you get when you marry the talents of designer Nicolas Ghesquiére and photgrapher Ryan McGinley? You get the lookbook for Balenciaga mens S/S 09. I found a copy sitting in my mailbox yesterday. The photgraphy is quite beautiful and accurately captures the kind of austerity typical of the Balenciaga man. However, to actually get a sense of the clothes requires a trip to a Balenciaga store or to Barney's. But do we really mind? The images are appealing in that they peak our interests and get us excited. I know I am.
