The new man at Balmain is no longer the young outcast. He has grown into one who enjoys more interesting details over the distressing that he coveted in the past. This season, Olivier Rousteing went for an Asian influence. Some of the jackets were kimono inspired, while others were classic Balmain with exquisite tailoring. Two
Here is one of the videos to correspond with the highly anticipated Balmain diffusion line, Pierre Balmain. It holds the Balmain punk feel with all the zippers, tight fits, and slouchy tops. I think this collection will do well. I can’t wait to see the still pictures of the pieces. You can watch the video
Here are some still photos of the new Pierre Balmain Spring 2012 collection modeled by Snejana Onopka. The collection holds the same Rock ‘n’ Roll aesthetic of the higher-end division of the fashion house. There is a ton of zebra print, zippers and black and white featured. Or there could be actual color being that
The first Balmain collection under new designer Olivier Rousteing walked in Paris during the Spring 2012 season. The Matador inspired collection featured looks that were nothing less flashy than the inspiration itself. There was embroidery everywhere, tons of gold and even the return of denim to the line.

Just as I expected, Balmain has now gone to a more put together route. At first, when I was looking through this collection, I have to say that I was a bit unsure if it would still have the essence that Christophe Decarnin put into the house. But after looking through the whole collection, I
I am noticing a trend for the men this season during fashion week. Pastels! They have been on many of the runways this season like Dsquared┬▓, Balmain, Gaultier, Missoni, and more. Next to to feature the pale hues is Mugler. The collection featured some wearable pieces like jeans, some shirts, and some unwearable pieces, well
The first thing I noticed this season from the new Balmain Homme collection is that there are some new colors. Not just the usual khaki and other fatigues, but some orange and teal, blues, and greens. The second thing that I noticed as well, looking through the collection, was movement. The model this season was
Balmain has just walked in Paris, but designer Christophe Decarnin was a no show. I’m always interested in seeing what he gives his bow in. Paris has definitely had their fair share of problems this season. This collection was once again inspired by Glam rock, but the glamorous men’s side the genre, i.e. David Bowie.
