| Balmain RTW Fall 2012 |
More is more, and then some. It’s a school of thought that Balmain’s
Olivier Rousteing clearly subscribed to for fall, with dazzling results,
literally. He amped up the flash with a bold lineup that explored
surface ornamentation, taking it to the nth degree. He piled on the
embroidery and embellishment — pearls, crystals, studs, upholsterylike
quilting and needlepoint florals, often in the same piece — for jackets,
tops and formfitting dresses.
The overall effect had a touch of Baroque
and resembled jeweled Fabergé eggs, which was intentional: The designer
was inspired by one such czarist gem that Richard Burton gave Elizabeth
Taylor. “I went to New York and saw the Christie’s exhibit, and it was
so beautiful,” Rousteing said before the show. “I loved the opulence.”
The approach could have made for a heady mix, but the excessive
ornamentation worked mostly because it was exquisitely executed and
looked sexy and ultrarich — even La Liz would have thought of them as
jewels for the body.

Rousteing suggested a boxier silhouette for
jackets and tops, including a ponyskin jacket with a formfitting skirt
and a smoking jacket with ultraslim pants, for day — an area that he
still seems to feel a little less comfortable in, even though the crisp
white sweater teamed with less lavishly embellished velvet trousers on
Karlie Kloss was a step in the right direction.(WWD)
