Balmain Hits Paris With Moves Like Jagger

It seems as if the menswear Paris Fashion Week has been a venue for which distinctively independent styles and trends have been married together to create something brand new. Balmain debuted their fall 2012 menswear collection just a few days ago, and this collection has taken the class and elegance of the classic preppy style and remixed it with the style reminiscent of a British rocker and created something utterly spectacular.

This collection may not boast moves like Jagger, but it certainly leaves its mark in your mind with its bold use of double-breasted vests, boots, and leather pants.

With so many different styles all being mashed into one, you would think that this collection just wouldn’t work. But that’s where you’re wrong. Each look moves naturally into the next while still encompassing an entire realm of tastes and visual interests. There are biker jackets to compliment leather pants, or military jackets to contrast them. No matter which way you view it, there will always be a workable look.
