Balmain Channels the 80's
This semester I am taking Couture Design. In this class, we have to do a designer report, on our choice of Couture Designer and presenting on them. I chose Balmain, basically because I was obsessed with last Fall's embroidered majesty and shortly after I chose this designer, the Fall 2013 line came out. Ummm, I love the 80's and I feel like Olivier Rousteing brought all the embroidered magic to the runway in a pumped up, shoulder padded and metallic way this season. It's so wrong that it's right and some of these pieces have me drooling, ie the fuschia bubble skirt that would look horrific on me. In any event, this collection was a feast for my eyes, tackiness be damned. These looks are super fun, which I'll always take over being super serious.
The line looks a bit futuristic also. Some items would be great wearing :) :) xoxo KJ http://kjandersen.wordpress.com/
ReplyDeleteLove Balmain, this line can never do any wrong in my eyes! I love your quote, "tackiness be damned!" I totally agree!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I love a good, tacky collection haha!
ReplyDeleteYou're right Kajsa, it does have a very futuristic twist, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI see a lot of 80s here. The rich colors with the black really make a statement. I think the earrings are a little much. The clothes should be showcased with out the distraction.
