Pearl City: Balmain A/W 2012 Backstage

By Kena @campchic

I have dreams of owning a vintage Balmain dress. I came very close this past February when I spotted a black vintage Balmain gown on shopgoodwill.com. It was stunning but too small. Another opportunity presented itself two months later on eBay, there it was a gold vintage Balmain blazer, I stalked  it for 4 days and missed out on final bidding. Shoot! Plans foiled again.

I’m perched on my couch, eyes fixed on these divine photos from BALMAIN A/W 2012 collection! The intricate embroidery detail, strategically placed pearls, gold trim….this collection definitely pays homage to the opulent garments of the late 1700′s. Très gorg!
