Famous designer Pierre Balmain showed their Spring/Summer 2014 collection that harks back to the rebellious styles of the punk years, when the electric chic of New York clashed with downtown’s club culture to open the most awaited fashion extravaganza fashion week 2013 at Singapore. With rock wardrobe staples, including stockings, leather and lace, silhouettes range from loose and carefree, to short and concise. The result is a modern wardrobe of controlled imperfection, mastering a minimal look that is sweetly sexy, yet deliberately dramatic and captivating.
