Balmain Fall 2011
This collection had a 70s, disco theme to it. It was relaxed, undone glamour at it's best and a mirror ball definitely wouldn't have looked out of place.
Slashed tees, man style blazers and embellished, mirror mosaic, mini dresses were key pieces in the collection.
Some embroided jackets had a real Isabel Marant feel to them. Suits featured heavily, one button blazers with plenty of flesh on display and cuffed 3/4 boyfriend pants were tucked into mid calf, lace up boots in shades of black, navy, white and silver.
There were fur capelets and epaulets on singlets. Peak shoulders still had a place on the runway but this time they weren't as exaggerated as previous seasons. There were splashes of glomesh, satin and lame. Skinny belts hugged models hips. Jumpsuits were prevalent with plunging necklines, Kasia Struss wore a crystal embellished one, new territory for Mr Decarnin. White skinnies tucked in white boots were also a new combination.
Even with all the glitz and glamour the collection still remained effortlessly chic.
