For the spring 2012 collection, Olivier Rousteing takes the house of Balmain from the City of Lights to another well lit city: Las Vegas. On the way, he stops over in Spain or maybe Texas to take in a bull fight. And it seems that Elvis provided the soundtrack for this journey. The end product is a masterfully crafted collection of tailored and embellished minidresses, leather brocade suits, and hot pants. Balmain's signature dresses were updated with boleros, and military shirts featured embellished collars, pockets and plackets. But Rousteing doesn't just stick to house favorites; he adds new ideas to the Balmain vernacular with full maxi skirts in soft blue denim and even leather. Thankfully, it looks like the days of hole-ridden, safety pinned T-shirts with $1000 price tags are over. Rousteing maintains the brand's integrity keeping all of the flash and ditching all the trash. Enjoy.
