There's always that one designer a fashionista cannot get enough of; mine is Balmain. This is more than just fashion, it's artwork!
For his Fall/Winter 2013 Ready-to-Wear collections, designer Olivier Rousteing took his love for the Baroque and channeled it into runway masterpieces, using pearls and beads to create intrinsic patterns and detailed embellishments. There is nothing out there in the fashion world that compares to Rousteing's creations, in which he took his inspiration from the 1800's Russian Faberge` egg and incorporated it into his work. His Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear collection (inspired by the city of Cuba) is similar, what with the embroidery and beading, except the color palette is noticably brighter and if you notice, all of the models have braids, which is a popular hairstyle for spring!
I fell in love with these collections right away for its attention-demanding embroidery, quilting, and gold embellishments that represent a women's strength and feminity. Celebrities such as Penelope Cruz and Kristen Stewart are among these strong, yet feminine women who have expressed their love for the line, as well as other Balmain pieces.
