Balmain inspired







This old leather jacket was going to be thrown out, but when I saw the Balmain collection for F/W2011 I fell in love with their leather jackets. So I took that idea and I did my own spin on it. I took gold and sliver safety pins and attached my shoulder chains on the seam of the jacket. I also criss-crossed the safety pins to give it more of an effect. Safety pins were also pinned along the front seam of the jacket. There is still a lot of work to be done on the jacket as I am planning to cover all of the seams with safety pins...so stay tuned!

Outfit: Leather Jacket (old Danier turned DIY), Blouse (Reiss), Pants (Aerie), Shoes (Baker), Bag (Vintage), Scarf (Alexander McQueen)
