Balmain SS 2012













You know the saying 'She rocked that dress'? Balmain have always given it a meaning.  The French Fashion House are well known for being incredibly picky when it comes to lending  their dresses to celebrities, but those to whom they have lent dresses certainly have 'Rocked' them.

This year their collection was no exception.  Whilst slightly less edgy than what we have seen from them previously, this show was by no means any less powerful.  They showed a lot of Aztec prints, denim shirts and full length denim skirts, leather mini dresses, bolero's, and in true Balmain Style, plenty of metallic embellishment.  My favourtie pieces were the jackets with those angular shoulders that the house are so well known for (You wouldn't even know Olivier Rousteing had replaced Christophe Decarnin).

The models were accessorized with stunning boots and hair pulled back so tight it would make those Croydon girls lower their heads in shame.
