| 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.
