Balenciaga SS 2012



It was all about power shoulders this years Paris Fashion Week with models walking the catwalk in severely structured garments all with broad shoulders seemingly 'built in'.  The boxy jackets that models donned in the first looks of the show had bright structured panels and seemed to draw focus away from other garments that completed the outfits.

The collection also consisted of several bold printed shirts, some shorts that would make even Kylie Minogue blush and some stunning black jackets and tailored trousers that were made of two different fabrics, for example denim at the front and twill at the back.

The final look was a bit confusing, the models had on some gorgeous midi length skirts, but the hats and colours appeared to make the finale a homage to Darth Vader.  Whilst the fashion piower house's bags are hugely popular with celebrities, I wouldn't expect to see any of this collection on the Red Carpet this season.
