More Metal Couture - Balenciaga "gold leggings"

Metal Couture is not strictly alternative fashion, and not necessarily subcultural, because really it is more art than subcultural fashion. Particularly in its extreme form, like these Balenciaga gold leggings

These are from their 2007 runway show. Designed for them by Nicolas Ghesquier.
They are gold, they are made as special orders, and they cost $100,000....add I would love to see a close up pic.
I don't think Balenciaga sell a lot of these. But great to see them pushing the edge of the envelope and making some outside the square interesting eye candy.
