Balenciaga, a fashion house founded by Spanish designer Cristóbal Balenciaga in 1918, is known for their uncompromising standards, and is now owned by Gucci, a subsidiary of PPR, the French multinational company.

It is said that Jacqueline Kennedy upset President John F. Kennedy by buying Balenciaga's expensive creations; because he feared that the American public might think the purchases were too lavish, and hence Jackie’s haute couture bills were discreetly paid by her father-in-law, Joseph Kennedy.

Now Balenciaga is the favourite of many Hollywood celebrities, for instance, they designed the dresses worn by Jennifer Connelly and Nicole Kidman to the 2006 Academy Awards, and the wedding gown Kidman wore for her recent marriage to Keith Urban. Another celebrity, singer Kylie Minogue, also wore a Balenciaga dress for her ‘Slow’ and ‘Red Blooded Woman’ music videos and for her concert tour.

Currently the brand Balenciaga is most famous for its line of motorcycle-inspired handbags, with their retail outlets in New York, Los Angeles, Costa Mesa, and another one in Las Vegas inside Caesers Palace, selling only accessories. In recent times the Balenciaga line also included jodhpurs, fitted blazers, beaded embellished scarves and other multicultural mixes.

Trend Report:Stripes Back

Like dots, floral prints, animal or plaid, stripes back over the trends, especially in hot sezoul being associated with a casual style of holiday.
For inspiration take a look at the collections signed D & G, Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger or the most stylish people in Celebville.
Their favorite seems to be the Chanel blouse, which I saw her at Claudia, Sienna and Mischie.

Celebrity Style: Celebrities Wanna Rock! Do You?

Rock and roll and celebrities go together like- well, like rock and roll and celebrities! Celebs just love showing off their wild sides- either by dating a head-to-toe covered in tattoos rocker, or by simply emulating the iconic (?) styles of such trendsetters (??) as Slash from Guns n' Roses. This trend is universal and inspires designers from every end of the designing food chain, from ultra sophisticated high-end labels like Chanel to grungy, edgy designers like Alexander Wang.

Who cares if you've never touched an electric guitar and you'd rather rock out to a catchy pop tune over a head banging metal jam- you can still rock the ultra sexy rock & roll look and infuse a bit of your own personality into the style- like Nicky Hilton who balances edginess with sophistication, Ashley Olsen, who rocks out while staying true to her boho-chic put together/undone signature style; Audrina Patridge who favors the Biker-Rocker look, and Anne Hathaway who tried out an emo-rocker style- the rockin' possibilities are endless!

Fashion Report :Nicky, Lindsay & Nicole in Jet Jeans

wonder whether Nicky Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Ritchie call each other up and decide to start a trend. Or is it just a coincidence that they have all been seen wearing identical Jet Thrashed jeans and black beanie hats recently!
