Fusion of eastern and western
aesthetics with a strong Asian essence, intricate detailing that can be
compared to couture, loose silhouette and extravagant – this in Balmain Fall
2013 Menswear for you. Olivier Rousteing’s latest offering was created keeping
Asian market or to be more precise Asian young men into consideration as they
are the ones investing in the pieces thus promoting the brand.
Drop crotch pants with over-sized
pleats, passementerie details on a fur trimmed black hooded parka, gilded
jacket, biker leathers in a new avatar of loose silhouette and wrapped around in
martial art belts or thick embroidered obis, kimono tops, tuxedo jackets with
intricate dragon bead work and leather skinny pants with quilted knees were some
of the key pieces and features of this excellent collection. For me the gilded leather
jacket crafted from wood beads with gold piping was one of the standout pieces
of this latest offering from Balmain that redefines men’s high fashion.
