Emblems
Filed in: Designers, Fashion, Secondhand, Shopping, Trend Alerts
Balenciaga, among others, placed emblems on their jackets, often on double breasted ones. Instead of looking for the perfect jacket, that would go out on date anyway, I got an emblem brooch for a dollar at the flea market yesterday. When I got home I remembered that I had bought something similar at at shop called Bik Bok many years ago. I guess the two B´s in the middle stand for the name of the shop, but an ex of mine thought it meant Baron Blood, which sounds way cooler so I choose to believe that´s what it means. I´m going to place these on the military jacket that I´ve worn a couple of times lately, and perhaps on my black double breasted wool coat from H&M with gold buttons.
I didn´t find any detail shots of the emblems at Balenciaga, but at least you get a hint of it in this photo.
These are the two that I´ll be using for the look.

Riz, I know what you mean, it was a huge step in a different direction than the spring collection. I don’t like it nearly as much, but I do like elements of it.

nice… it reminds me of the emblems of the late 80s… what i love about the above photo is the giant stole with the tiny jacket…

[…] Balenciaga collection that I have been aware of that I liked, the blazers with the emblems that I wrote about a few days ago. I made my own twist on the jacket and when wearing it today I threw on a couple of […]
