| I have to admit that out of all the collections out of all the fall/winter 2011 season, the Balmain collection was definitely one that took my breath away. I absolutely loved the simplicity and elegance of the clothes because they were wearable but still edgy and chique which propelled me to keep my eyes fixed on my computer screen as I was watching the collection come down the runway on the video I saw on style.com. I was fascinated by the overall theme of the collection which really came off as this grunge kind of glamorous, rock and roll aspect as if we were to go back in time and look at fashion worn by artists like Michael Jackson. I loved how versatile this collection was and it still had parts of the spring/summer 2010 collection as well as the fall/winter 2010 collection such as the motorcycle leather jackets and leather leggings as well as the army style long lace up black high heeled boots. Balmain actually played it up this time by adding over the top extravagant sequined blazers with high shoulders, glittery jump suits, white skinnies, metallic pant suits, chique sequined dresses, statement metallic jackets, white capri trousers, buttoned up casual blouses, interesting tank tops with one side cut from the side as well as white army style high heeled shoes which were definitely my favorite! The white high heeled lace up boots with the white skinnies were my favorite looks in the collection just because they were unique but still very trendy and a real change simply because they stood out. I loved how gorgeous this collection was with all the metalic colours, fur and sequined statement pieces which happened to really sum up the entire collection and it still showcased the amount of sophistication yet pure elegance. The colors used were consistent throughout the entire collection and It really fascinated me as to how they were all part of the same collection but each ensemble stood out differently and was very unique in its own way. Each of the ensembles complimented each other very well. The entire collection seemed very wearable even though it was very glamorous and edgy even with the amount of detail involved in each of the pieces of clothing. I am definitely drawn to this collection and have taken inspiration from it immensely. |
