Oh my goshhh Balmain!

So I've been a huge fan of Balmain for a couple of years now..Every time someone would ask me, who's ur favorite designer? Balmain would be the first name, that popped up in my head. I'm not good with names, so I'm not able to link the designer with their signature style. I just follow the fashion news..look at the different runway shows..and sometimes stuff stands out... like Haider Ackermanns Autumn/Winter 2012-2013 RTW collection..he's one of my personal favorites as well. But Balmain is ' Ohmygoshfabulous' to me. I go through the pictures and i'm going ' wow-shut up-omfg ' with every new picture that pops up...I'm blown away by the sense of detail, and style that goes into each and every outfit. The embroidery, the jackets woven with pearls, the ultra modern edge, the sharp tailoring, and oversized proportions are to die for. I love everything about it. It's so dangerous to combine all these elements, but Olivier Rousteing makes it seem effortless! That much of detail, and over the top sparkle and pearls, could be too much, but he combines it in a modern way..by using rather masculin fitted jackets and pants..so you have the best of two worlds...you've got the androgyn boxy fit, but the feminine detail and sensual feel, in the prints, and choice in fabric. I can go on and on about this...I guess it all started with the Fall/winter collection of last year..those embroidered oversized sweaters/ dresses were amazing! They caught my eye. I would die for one of those. If I would have to pick one designer, that would dress me every single day.. it would be Balmain. The clothes breathe streetstyle-chic as no other..with a hint of masculin energy and fit..Pure perfection. Perfectly tailored, luxury feel, edgy but sensual clothes with a masculin oversized feel, the perfect combo between androgyn and feminine wardrobe.
