Nicole's Silver Balenciaga Pantsuit @ Golden Compass Premier: Thanks Jelenie!

I'll end my silver-induced mania v. soon, but I thought that this should be shared. It's been condemned as fug, but I don't give a fuck. What do other people think?

Can't Think of Any Good Puns Involving "Silver"

I don't rate my abilities in fashion criticism at all, so it comes to my great surprise (and vague pride) that my newfound, reptilian obsession with the metallic is endorsed by reputable sources, i.e. Style.com: http://www.style.com/fashionshows/stylehunter/content_6269

Style.com says that the trend is just in time for the red-carpet season, which of course may be truncated because of shenanigans involving the American Screenwriters Association: http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN0433567820080108

From top-to-bottom: Luella, Ralph Lauren, Galliano. (Balenciaga was there too but to my mind nowhere near as successful as in the recent past).

Why Do I Go Gaga Over Silver Pants?

Salvatore Ferragamo's Spring/Summer '08 collection was (to my mind) centrepieced by the stunning silver pants (on right) which aroused some sort of reptilian part of my brain in a way I've not experienced since Balenciaga's S/S '07 collection, in which metallic shades touched everything in a sort of godly infection.
