Runway: Balmain

For those who never heard of Balmain:
Pierre Balmain founded his exquisite namesake Parisian fashion house in 1945, dressing the likes of Ava Gardner and Brigitte Bardot.
After his death in 1982, a slew of designers took the helm including Oscar de la Renta, and now it's the turn of elegant French designer Christophe Decarnin.
Bringing a distinctly modern vibe to the label, the fashion pack are hankering after his crystal-embellished drummer boy jackets, super-skinny acid wash denim and studded high-waisted mini skirts.
His spring show is all about a mix of Native Americans and India.
Here some of my favourite pieces of the show:
