Paris Fashion Week 2012

BALENCIAGA

Lots of electric blues and a definite 80’s vibe were delivered at Balenciaga’s Paris show. Chiffon dresses worn with boxy jackets and pointy leather boots with cone heels strutted down the runway.

FELIPE OLIVEIRA BAPTISTA

Zebra prints worn with super-tight leather leggings and wedge-platform grey boots then topped off with a cap. Lots of greys, blacks and sludgy olive greens were on display.  A tough attitude collection.

DRIES VAN NOTEN

Cropped wool jackets with gold embroidery detailing and Chinese inspired prints worn with calf length skirts and block heeled boots. Colors were blues and vibrant oranges. Tweed coats also made an appearance on the runway.

BALMAIN

Inspired by the Faberge egg highlighted masterful design and detailing. Clothing glittered with yet more gold embellishment on regal greens and powdery pink velvet jackets. Satin shirts worn with boxy shouldered leather jackets and trousers were loose unlike their usual trademark skinny jean.
