Ode to Irina!

OK - I know I should be talking spring with the kick-off of New York Fashion week... and believe me I will definitely be obsessing about all things Spring in the coming weeks. However - in the meantime I'm absolutely taken with these pics from the Balenciaga website. They feature Montreal native, Kate Moss besty, Irina Lazareaunu in the Balenciaga Fall 06 PRE collection.

Now don't get me wrong! It's not that I don't love the fall collection but after so much press and hoopla I just don't feel quite the same about it now that it's actually here! Quite unlike the PRE collection which gets relatively NO press. Sigh. I don't know if it's the porportions or Irina, or the combo of the two! But I'm smitten.
