balmain spring/summer 2011 rtw

Balmain for this spring showed a surprising yet charming repertoire in Paris last fall. Staying true to the edgy rocker theme, distressed leather and intense pops of color were the norm. The collection was diverse, although it presented a similar corset-on-cropped-skinny-jeans throughout the show. Despite a seemingly normal silhouette, I think its safe to say Balmain strayed from the norm with this spring collection, going hard rock while other designers went lyrically acoustic.
