Balmain Fall 2012

BallmainFW2012-1

As the former back room boy at Balmain, Oliver Rousteing has stepped out of the sidelines and delivered his second collection as head designer at Balmain. The collection was inspired by a Fabergé egg he saw when visiting Christie's auction of Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry and clothes during his first trip to New York. Combining boxy silhouettes, mini skirts and tailored dresses, the collection is both effortlessly cool and incredibly directional. With embroidery reminiscent of a grandmothers pillow,  collars hinting at a baroque cathedral and silhouettes flirting with 18th century mens fashion, Rousteing's Fall 2012 collection could not be more ideal.
