It would be to own a piece from Balmain's collection. 
Balmain is a fashion house that was founded by Pierre Balmain in 1945, and it was first known for its elegant and super feminine style. However, the fashion house was reinvented in recent years when Christophe Descarnin came on board as head designer. Descarnin made Balmain coveted for it's new edgy, sexy, yet glamorous creations. Why I love Balmain so much is that it reminds me alot of my favourite pop star of all time, Michael Jackson; the strong shoulder pads, excessive amounts of sequence and studs, as well as its 1980\s inspiration. Michael Jackson was seen wearing Balmain quite often in his last years, and it comes as no surprise that Descarnin stated he was a big fan of MJ and much of his designs were inspired by the late and great Jackson.
I definitely don't think that Balmain is suitable for everyone; only those who are confident and don't mind being the centre of attention. ("me! me! me!" *ahem*)
*In 2011, Descarnin stepped down as head designer and much to a surprise, 25 year old pattern-maker, Olivier Rousteing took the reigns. Rousteing has definitely succeeded in maintaining the image of Balmain in my opinion. I look forward to seeing what's next for the fashion house...and one day...owning my own piece of Paris!
