Balmain FW11 RTW

Very much a collection filled with opulence and luxury, Balmain's latest made it very difficult for me to pick my top looks. From fully gilded 60s-inspired long-sleeve shift mini dresses, tailored metallic blazers, cropped pants in neutral colours, (and you can't forget those mid-calf boots that rocked every outfit!), Balmain has defined a look for spring that I will be pulling for inspiration for a while to come. The detailing blows my mind - must have taken so long to do, as it was likely hand-stitched. Definitely one of my favourite collections from Paris Fashion Week 2011.

Balmain FW11 Lookbook

Take note: Honestly, Balmain pretty much blew menswear out of the water for fall/winter 2011 with their latest lookbook. The spread featured an everyday wardrobe for men - what every man essentially would be wearing in a perfect world with some great updated silhouettes and tailored details.
