The one item seen the most often on the fashion pack at the recent spring 2009 shows? The Balenciaga black leather motorcycle jacket. Style.com reports “From the chic Americans to the Euro-class girls to the fashion Editors (Emmanuelle Alt), not a day went by without at least at least one vision of M Ghesquière’s zipper-trim blouson noir. At the end of fashion week party one girl said she would rather sweat than run the risk of losing her goes-with-anything coat. “Look at that booth: There’s a whole pile of leather jackets,” she explained. “I don’t want to put mine there. What happens if a drunken lady gets ready to go and just grabs the one on the top, taking my Balenciaga and leaving me her Topshop? Can you imagine?” Shudder the thought, but the clever girl ended up working out a plan: She ran her scarf through the sleeve of the jacket and actually tied the thing to the leg of her table. “When it comes to Balenciaga, I don’t F. around,” she explained”‘—reports Derek Blasberg.
