RIHANNA HARPER'S BAZAAR AUGUST 2012

BALMAIN FALL 2012

Its funny how I strayed away from doing runway reviews but I decided

why not for the Balmain Fall 2012 collection because it's so different from what

we usually see from Olivier Rousteing. When we think of Balmain we think 

of  hardware and shoulder pads however this collection was completely

different from that. Instead of studs many of the pieces were embroidered 

and beaded which made the collection have more of a softer appeal. Many

of the pieces were simple but at the same time tailored to perfection. Quilted

velvet was also everywhere in the collection from pants to jackets and even footwear

but primarily in teal and forest green. I definitely have to say that this would

be my most favorite collection from Balmain thus far.
