Balmain SS11 by Christophe Decarnin Pin Tiger Crest Tank Top

For Spring Summer 2011, one of his final collections for Balmain, Christophe Decarnin turned to punk, with shredded T-shirts, safety pins and American flag motifs on the Paris runway. This tank top from that season is cut from grey marl cotton jersey with raw, cut off edges at the armholes and hem, and rows of real metal safety pins are fixed along both shoulder seams and down the side seams. The front carries a print in the style of an ink drawing: a tiger climbing across a varsity crest with a banner of stars, under a red necklace of thorns drawn around the collar, with drawn safety pins scattered through the artwork. The Balmain Paris label sits inside the neck.
