Pierre Balmain was a French designer known for sophisticated and elegant clothing who once said that clothing design is the architecture of movement. Today, his legacy - the Balmain fashion house - is one of the leading fashion establishments in the world, dictating the latest fashion trends. From season to season, their influence on the fashion world is more noticeable, their ideas are taken up by many designers, and a real Balmainia has appeared among fashion enthusiasts. Their designer Christophe Decarnin skillfully mixes sexiness with smart fashion on the catwalks of Paris for the past few seasons. In fact, it is a complex blend of subtle elegance and refined aggression. For the spring-summer 2010 season, he was bolder than ever, insisting on bare legs, crystal details, skin-tight dresses and blushing necklines. The main theme of the collection is marching into battle. The clothes imitate military uniforms, fatal Amazons and movie heroines. The must-haves are tight-fitting leather pants, an olive-green Napoleon-style jacket, a military shirt with rips, tight-fitting dresses with sequins and bold holes.
