The fashionistas decree that Balenciaga dictates the fashion trend for the season. As one New York Times pundit declared,
Nicolas Ghesquiere's collection for Balenciaga has become such a bellwether, it's impossible to know what's going on for the season before you see it.

Is this not familiar to us? Was this not one of the recent challenges on Project Runway where not just Jillian but Rami's current Fashion Week collection is based?
So, are we to deduce that Paris is following New York or was there some osmosis of concepts lurking in the air that traversed the distance between both?
Or are we simply running out of ideas?
