That lower-priced Balmain line? Not happening. Never was. Says a company spokesperson: “What I think you might be referring to is a capsule collection that was prepared for some Parisian retailers. Christophe Decarnin wasn’t involved in that project. The brand has decided to not repeat the experience, preferring to concentrate all its efforts on the main line.” [Vogue UK]

Jennifer, I know you already know this, but Balmain already has a lower priced line and it includes poly/cotton men’s dress shirts. They’re two for $45 at Sears Canada. You should send a photographer over to get some for your “Daily Steal” entry.
