RUNWAY TO REAL WAY

Balmain Fall 2012

When I saw this Zara skirt I knew I had to have it. When I brought it home I realized why I was so fascinated with it; it reminded me of Balmain's amazing Fall 2012 collection! So it inspired me to do a sort of "runway to real way" post. Another example of runway fashion trickling down to the commercial market- a knock off done right! ;)

BAROQUE TREND

Balmain has always been a fave of mine and the Fall 2012 collection is insane with its' baroque prints and influences (note the trend board is all Balmain). In college I had a themed fashion project nearly every week, and the baroque era always seemed to be my first pick as I loved how it could so easily translate to fashion. Needless to say, I'm pretty jazzed that it is one of the biggest trends this Fall!
