Balmain for less

We all love the haute couture dresses, the leather jackets and the torn T-shirts, which were the hallmark of Balmain for the previous seasons, but it seems that this will change from now on.
The people of the famous brand had probably realized that only a few people would buy a ripped jean worth $5000, so they decided to lower prices.
The new collection will be released next December and will include tracks that their prices start at $172 and end at $1000 for evening wear and more formal creations.
