Balenciaga is as modern as ever, pastels and blocks effectively building the aesthetic that has come into it's own under Nicolas Ghesquière's precision like steering. He shows us that perhaps the news has so much of an impact on our daily lives now, it can blazon across our chests demanding full attention.
The Napoleon Apartments or perhaps The Palace of Versaille influence Balmain's undeniably rocked baroque collection. There was nothing subtle about it, and Balmain is set for another season as a leader of the trends, attention to shoulders and all.
When Rick Owens cuts a fine figure that's not quite to the body, he still sets the pace for a collection that can be spotted as his a million miles away. Dramatic eyes and a tribal stocking ensure he paces the urban setting to a very distinct tribal beat he can claim all his own.
Shifting to a strong floral theme at Nina Ricci keeps the mood feminine and light. Even dramatic black lace and floral can't shake that prettiness sweeping the Nina Ricci runway. It's not for everyone, but a coherent collection none the less.
Saving the best for last though, John Galliano jumped right back on that horse and kept riding that equestrian theme. This Christian Dior mainline collection was however undeniably more adaptable than that of Christian Dior Couture. Track side or mounted, his coats and draped chiffon were the perfect match against jodhpurs and thigh high suede boots. Eliza Doolittle would still find something suitable.
