Balmain’s perfect military jacket

Written by Daniel P Dykes.

In the UK’s Harper’s Bazaar February 2009 edition they put the appeal of this jacket from Balmain down to the sensuality of shoulders. It’s not. It’s not even the appeal of it being jewel encrusted. Rather it’s a combination of the jewels and the military trend that gives this jacket an utter sexuality.

And of course, the utter obvious quality of any piece from Balmain doesn’t hurt at all.

Late one Oxford night Daniel P Dykes set about creating a fashion publication that would go someway to being an arbiter on fashion as it appeals to the emerging power generations: those who don't remember a world without the Internet and for whom work plays second fiddle to pleasure. And so Fashionising.com was born as a publication for those who were focussed not just on fashion's trends, but on society's too, and how those trends could all go to heighten the art of living. Hence, Daniel sees a future where, for those young at heart, both fashion and style are grounded in traditional quality, but with a youthful, sensualised edge. Daniel is Fashionising.com's Editor in Chief and Chairman.
