Farewell Olivier Rousteing: Fave Balmain Looks from Recent Years

Good morning! How are you doing? I caught wind of the news that Olivier Rousteing would be stepping down as Creative Director of Balmain and instantly felt a loss. His looks have been some of my favorite looks on the runways for the last few decades. He pushed the limits, reimagined silhouettes, gave garments structure and definition that hadn’t been seen before. I’m sure that his work will be influencing our culture and imagination for years to come. Farewell Olivier. And, well, we can’t wait to see what you do next.

Below are some of my favorite Balmain looks of recent years. What are yours?

Simple Fit n’ Flare Geometric Dress for Winter

This winter I’ve had fun with this geometric fit and flare dress from Nordstrom (similar red Felicity and Coco dress $118 and blue Topshop dress $80). It’s warm, you can dress it up or down, and the flare makes you feel girly! I love it.

Le Normandie: Catherine Malandrino Fall 2013 Fashion Week Presentation

This past Sunday I helped at the Catherine Malandrino Fall 2013 Fashion Week Presentation downtown. Le Normandie was the name of the collection featuring great geometric shapes, beautiful silhouettes and lace overlays.  And, of course, the international fashion community was there to check it out.

The look on the models was very natural and simple, but the clothes were anything but that. I wore one of her Black Label leather skirts with lace cut outs along with leather boots for a biker look. Check out some of the looks and photos from the presentation below.catherine-malandrino01malandrinomodel4malandrinomodel2malandrinomodel
