Balmain Women Collection for Spring 2010

The Balmain Women Collection for Spring 2010 was shown at the Paris Fashion Week in September this year. I have to say this collection was very impressive! It’s as if the pieces were costumes taken straight from a movie like Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome from the 1980’s, but added with a touch of glamour. The clothes gives me a feel post-apocalyptic rockstar women. Obviously Balmain kept on building on their trend from the 2009 Spring collection, with the military look and prominent shoulders, but this time it seems that they went one step further. There are still the military jackets and shimmery details but less of the colorful and sequined covered pieces. The military jackets this time felt like they were shrunken and used, which gave them a more realistic look. This time we could see more of the bronze, gold and khaki green colors. The boots are done in military style with the lace in the front.

I love this collection! It gives a feel of women power with the strong and masculine outfits of the military jackets and boots, yet very sexy and female at the same time. I guess it won’t be long before we start seeing similar pieces in the high-street fashion stores. What do you think of this collection?
