Setting the tone for the new season, Balmain’s spring 2011 show opened with Daria Werbowy donning a three piece ensemble of black, zippers and safety pins. As the show progressed, the collections punk theme became more apparent with distressed patterns, ripped stockings and a smattering of sequins. For spring, designer Christophe Decarnin presented a unique blend of anarchy and party glamour.

Making his debut at Paris Fashion Week, Zac Posen finds inspiration in couture and Parisian fashion of the past for his spring 2011 collection. Featuring an abundance of feathers, deep red and orange hues, and body hugging silhouettes, the change of venue ushers in a Posen woman with a flair for the dramatic.

Bringing androgyny to the spring season, Balenciaga’s most recent outing offered a hard edged combination of leather, futuristic prints and sleek silhouettes. A few surprises were also found on the runway as unknown models off the streets were casted alongside supermodels including Gisele Bundchen, Amber Valletta and Carolyn Murphy.
