The collection , from the man who created the cult of jeans costing £1,000-plus,

moncler shirts, with black satin, ribbon-laced, stiletto booties. Gold and crimson brocade, or leopard-print frock-coats topped sequinned trousers.
Dresses, in gold leather, gold beading and gold sequins, plunged to the navel, stopped short at the bikini line, or were slashed to the thigh - a sure-fire bet for the Oscars red carpet. Others, with a cowgirl twist, were fringed in glittering chain-mail.
The show was a hectic parade of dash, flash - and lots of cash - as 34 models, long of leg and all with long blonde hair - raced around the catwalk to a mix of Prince hits, smiling and preening as they caught glimpses of themselves in the mirrored walls of the Grand Hotel's ballroom.
The show attracted a frenzy of paparazzi and a traffic jam of limousines, decanting the brand's wealthy clientele and who have elevated this once dormant "dowager" French label to the height of "if-you've-got-it-flaunt-it" chic.

The collection,

The models, too, were fresh-faced, rather than the smoky-eyed, bedroom-haired "dolls" usually associated with the Balmain glam-rock excess.
"I started from a standpoint of classical French couture, like a Cardin jacket and trousers from 1970; all very elegant - and then I moved to the Court of Versailles," Decarnin said, backstage.
