Balenciaga kicked off their fall 2012 line yesterday in Paris. Like the city, the looks were all designed to exude professional
chic sophistication.
Each look represented a role in the make-believe offices of
Balenciaga Inc. It was a clever way to make business casual a bit less casual. Office
clothes can be borderline boring, but Balenciaga definitely showed us that it doesn’t have to be the case.
Bold skirts, silky slacks, leather, and bright color
dominated the show. The collection paid close attention to detail and playful
hemlines. The looks mixed both sparkle and black with bold color for a
dramatic look, which really worked as an outfit. Intricate designs and rock-star splashes completed the most eccentric looks.
Kristen Stewart showed her sophisticated side at the Paris
show with an ensemble that was more glammed up than usual. Often casual in public, Stewart donned leather and florals for a more upscale Parisian look at the
show.
