Bitching over Balmain

When new POP Editor In Chief, Dasha Zhukova, failed to turn up at some of the major Milan Fashion Week shows, despite having been reserved a front row spot, she pissed off a lot of fashion PRs. Now it turns out they're not the only industry insiders she's irritated recently. Coming out of a particularly juicy fashion gossiping session today is the news that buyers at Selfridges have blacklisted her after she asked them to get her ten S/S '09 Balmain sequined mini dresses - we're talking an expense of over £90,000 - and then decided she'd actually only buy one at the last minute. Apparently she thought more might look 'too excessive.' Yikes. Still, at least we know where to head for bargain(ish) Balmain come sale season....
