Balmain Spring / Summer 2012This was Olivier Rousteing's second collection under the helm of Balmain since Christophe Decarnin's departure in February 2011.
Rousteing maintained Balmain's signature aesthetic, sexy, rock n roll glamour with a polished edge.
Standout pieces included a cropped, collarless, gold and white embellished jacket with matching mini dress worn by Kasia Struss.
There were strong Mexican influences this season, which were evident on lace motif hipsters and a silk, pastel, floral jacket, which resembled a tapestry.
Tees and denim were no longer distressed. This season Rousteing opted for bleached denim and plunging collarless blouses.
Long, lean silhouettes were found on white military style jackets complete with black fringing on sleeves. Pants were high waisted and 3/4 in length. The look was brought together by a gold and white chain belt, very Versace.
There were laser cut black and white mini dresses complete with stitching detail.Denim shirts featured embroided collars, pockets and plackets. Cheeky hot pants featured regularly and came in black leather, embellished shades of bronze, and white quilted fabrics.
All these looks were paired with Balmain's staple ankle boot in black. Some styles featured Florence Broadhurst print, peep toe detail, embellished toe and leather cut-out design.
