Balmain Fall 2014 RTW Collection
I am crazy for this designer and this is my second time to post about Balmain!! The collection that is Balmain Fall 2014, revived the long admired military trend, with a new take only Olivier Rousting could master. Olive greens, canary yellows, and even a dash of leopard were all present. Balmain’s signature silhouettes came out to play, (structured shoulders and pegged pants) but didn’t feel redundant.
Especially exciting were the ornately macramed dresses using lengths of twined roping as a textile. #fashionfriendsof TenaciousM Enjoy!

Balmain Pre-Fall 2014 Collection
I am excited about some of the designer clothes being shown for 2014. My affection for animal prints, ethnic and multicultural influences remains predominant, and I am happy to see the look evolve in such a sleek, understated chic manner. A true Parisian powerhouse, Balmain was founded many years ago by couturier Pierre Balmain, and was kick-started back into fashion-prominence in 2005 by the valiant Christophe Decarnin. Now with Olivier Rousteing at the helm as Creative Director, the label continues to deliver decadent rock-inflected glamour with ultra sexy, severe and distinctive collections for both women and men. I really like the styling of the garments which gives me ideas to reinvent items already in my closet.
Our love for Olivier Rousteing only deepens with the launch of his Pre-Fall 2014 collection. His aim was to push the idea that his brand is for women of different cultures, ethnicities, and price ranges.
The result was a sort of safari-meets-hip-hop aesthetic, which pulled inspiration from Peter Beard’s photography of Iman in Africa, back in her early modeling days. We can definitely see his muse Rihanna rocking the little miniskirts. Enjoy!
