Balmain Mens S/S 2015 Paris

[marcBarna]

Olivier Rousteing follows Neymar on Instagram and is rooting for Brazil in the World Cup. But it was Seventies icons of downhill skiing, motorcycle racing and Formula 1 that informed his graphic and energetic spring collection.

“Balmain is about sexiness and sport,” he said as models marched through the showroom in their open-toed mountain boots. His jogging pants with athletic stripes or motocross padding often matched the color-blocked Perfecto jackets or hoodies worn on top, approximating a jumpsuit look. Black, white and red are the key team colors.

Rousteing winked to formalwear and military dress with his neatly piped blazers and cardigans in jersey, and flexed the atelier’s muscles with ponchos and biker jackets beaded in intricate Navajo patterns. Racy, indeed.

Uhm... not my favorite choice of model... The clothes look really cheap. Pieces here and there, but for the Balmain prices? now way!

Even though I'd never wear anything Balmain, those embellished jackets he offered in his previous collections were nice for what they were; but I am absolutely not here for this hideous tacky crap.

This is atrocious.

It totally reflects Olivier's style. It wasn't bad actually it's quite good but I think it's forgettable.

The outfits as they're styled right now are over the top, but the individual pieces are really cool and could make a great outfit if you keep it simple. I definitely know a few (not gay) guys who would wear it.

Why didn't Olivier model the clothes himself? Dudley is basically his doppelgänger.
