Need some New Year’s Eve inspiration to see you the through the most epic night of the partyseason? Why not go full blown Balmain?

 

Youthful, utilitarian formalwear in vibrant and exciting colours scream guy of tomorrow with Balmain’s AW13 collection. Cool, confident, slick and contemporary, opulent overcoats alongside lavish layering provides a style statement of catwalk trend-laden proportions.

 

Fringing, embroidery, fur, high-waist detailing and cummerbund accessorising, all come together in a daring display of new age sartorial flair. Dapper does not even begin to cover the explosion of aristocratic partywear elegance.

 

In conclusion, the Parisian fashion house adopts an English Edwardian meets mixed martial arts theme in a bureaucratic infusion of prestigious tailoring with a dash of sports-luxe on the side. Something for everyone but more importantly, something for the everyman.
