so major and worthy, that the title of the post has to be in capital letters and finished with an exclamation mark! orlando bloom attended the balenciaga spring 2011 womenswear show in paris yesterday, wearing a black shearling jacket from balenciaga menswear fall winter 2010.

balenciaga jackets are known for their rather severe cuts, almost always very fitted and very hugging around the arms and sleeves. despite shearling being known to add bulk to the wearer, mr bloom and the model above looked svelte and very stylish.

mr bloom attended the show as his pregnant missus, mirander kerr, walked for my favourite french fashion house for the second time this year.

i think it's pretty safe to say that mr bloom was dressed by the house of balenciaga for this occasion, he even wore balenciaga sneakers. whoever styled, or managed to convince him to wear balenciaga for the show should be given a raise. at this very point in time, all i can think of, is when and how to get to the balenciaga shop at harvey nichols in london to get my hands on that amazing shearling jacket.
the amazing thing is that orlando looked so relaxed in that outfit. in many cases with balenciaga, the outfit "wore" the person rather than the other way round. enough gushing, but this is the best i've seen anyone wore balenciaga menswear.
