Balmain Spring 2017: Gigi Hadid walks the runway in caped jumpsuit

Olivier Rousteing did away with his Balmain army’s armor for the brand’s spring-summer 2017 collection presented during Paris Fashion Week. Models including Gigi Hadid, Jourdan Dunn and Natasha Poly each sported matching sleek hairstyles as they hit the catwalk in stripped down looks–at least compared to past seasons. The new season still focused on sexy glamazon styles but in more fluid and relaxed shapes. The Balmain woman embraces kimono style sleeves, open shoulders and breezy maxi skirts. The French designer also featured sparkling stripes, art-deco motifs and python prints.
