A
Decades' client spends the summers in Provence painting fields of lavender in oils, cobblestone alleys with pencils, and glorious sunrises using watercolors. And she does so in
Balenciaga Haute Couture, of course! This late 50s smock is rather decadent when painting in
Lacoste, but when worn with white cropped jeans (wait for the Decades Denim "Marilyn" for Holiday 2010!) and a pair of requisite espadrilles, it's an E-ticket to artistic genius even if your painting talents are questionable! The raw silk "baby doll" has a white pique collar and an optional belt that nips your waist to take you from Van
Gogh to Vanderbilt in one simple knot. If Avignon isn't on your itinerary then live the fantasy, buy an
easel, and paint in your backyard - but do it in
Balenciaga!
