Balmain go gold...

To the voice of Prince, the models strutted down the catwalk in a flurry of gold. Gold sequins, gold fringing, gold brocade, wrong but right gold skin tight pants, black velvet jackets with stunning gold embellishment, leopard print dresses with gold stud applique detail and floor length gold dresses with thigh skimming splits. Such a luxurious feel to the line, stepping away from the tacky, OTT essence of gold and making it right again for Autumn/Winter 2010. The floor length, thigh skimming split dress may be a little much for some of us, but the gold pants are easily wearable. Dress them down with a plain top and wear with ankle boots. The tip seems to be - don't go overboard. You need to have the ability to realise when enough is enough. And if all out gold is too much try jackets with gold embellishment or dresses with gold brocade...
