What’s the not to love about Balmain’s spring/summer 2016 collection. Olivier had his #BalmainArmy right on spot and he gave us a collection to die for at the Paris fashion week last week and we fell in love with every piece at first sight
This collection is every inch The woman anyone would want or like to describe, power shoulders, cinched in waist line, polished choker neck plates, S&M worthy lace up sandals, Suede mini dresses, high pony tails, embellished mini dresses, cut out dresses and skirts, net skirts each one constructed with lashings of rich embellishments and structured bodysuits, 1970s Abba flares re-vamped in cool tiers and teamed with a wrap tuxedo top, glitzy pencil skirts, suede, blinged out net gowns in warm shades of browns and nudes, with pops of colour scattered throughout the collection. Accessorised with chunky earrings, wide waist belts and bold eye brows with minimal make up. It was wowing in a handful of stunning off-duty looks.
Now this is what the #BalmainArmy is all about. An actual armour for the fierce modern woman,
It was a star-studded catwalk with models like; Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner,Bella Hadid, Lily Aldridge, Jourdan Dunn, Joan Smalls, Alessandra Ambrosio, Stella Maxwell and Doutzen Kroes.
The house of Balmain has been in news lately due to the highly-anticipated collaboration with affordable fashion retailer H&M. We have to wait until Nov. 5 for the big reveal.
