The legendary house of Balmain has launched an epyonomous collection for Spring/Summer 2012, aiming to capture the elusive concept of “downtown coolness.” Focusing on working with designs scaled down to fit into the ever changing landscape of “coolness,” the collection falls hard for classic leather and denim, even bringing the two together in a denim/leather jacket that seems both sleek and functional after the initial astonishment has worn off. Shorts, falling slightly above the knee, make an impressive statement on the collection as well, adding to the overall casual comfort combined with high fashion feeling that the pieces evoke. Both boat shoes and metallic high tops make for some interesting additions on the footwear end, contributing both prep and sparkle to pieces put together in a meticulous manner, creating a unique end result still worthy of at least a little bit of “coolness.”
