Barbara Palvin for DSquared2 Pre-Fall 2012 by Lorenzo Marcucci

i just can't seem to take my eyes off this collection! so digging the whole 60s vibe, very modern Mad Men chic, if you will. i love: the trench coats, the TUX, the SMOKING, the cigarette pants (ah how apt), the colours, the pointy heels, the dresses, and oh, the girl.

Balmain Pre-Fall 2012

Modeled by Kasia Struss

so damn regal chic. this is Olivier Rousteing's third official womenswear collection for Balmain, which drew stimulation from St. Petersburg and Russia's impeccable Imperial Palace. 

this feels cleaner, yet more luxurious than ever. i'm loving the oversized blazers, the leather jackets, the gold buttons and cuffs, the embellishments (duh!), the watercolour prints, the fitted floor-length skirt with thigh-high slits, the silhouettes, the lush use of velvet and silk, the booties, the strong and bold shoulders.
