“Cosmonauts and seventies Formica. Packaging and food boxes. Synthetic foam and plywood. And a kind of rigidity” That was the inspiration behind the Fall 2010 Balenciaga shoes, said designer Nicolas Ghesquière.

I find the collection very interesting, but I don’t see myself wearing any of them. The color block, geometric heels and platforms are unique, and have an art-work quality. I really like the various colors of the shoes and that there are many complimenting colors in each shoe. At least the Balenciaga shoes are different and worthy of review, which is more than I can say about most of the Fall 2010 collections.
