Winter Basics - Posted by Holynights C

An amazing grunge look for the upcoming winter season. An oversized felt hat and Dr Martens are the greatest combination to get this look spot on. The faux leather duster coat adds contrast against the soft wool jumper and dark denim. The turn-up jeans add to the hipster style and to complete the look, dark black retro shades are the most stylish option.

  

Letter Salad - Posted By Jana Wind 

This outfit has my name written all over it....literally. This amazing alphabet oversized jumper dress is a great piece to team with opaque tights and leather Chelsea boots. I love the dainty gold necklace detail and how the Bershka jumper dress blends comfort and style into one. Try wearing this little number with a cute white collar underneath to match the white alphabet stitching. 

 

November - Posted by Jennifer Grace 

This all black outfit is one for the brave and daring. Mixing both sports wear with evening wear, Jennifer Grace has created the look so well. A hooded cropped jacket is teamed with a pair of cropped black joggers and accessorised with a classy mock-croc clutch bag and a pair of barely there stilettos. To tone the outfit down a little, add a pair of rounded sunnies and stut the street with your hood up!

 

Bunny Ears - Posted by Cizzy Z  

The beautiful Cizzy Z has created a wild, yet sophisticated look all in one. The statment bunny ears  create a quirky, Alice In Wonderland style accompanied with a contrasting gold plated waist belt, which adds shape to the heavy bubble dress. Perfect!

Approximate Sunlight - Posted by Tiffany B

This amazing black jumpsuit is simple and effective. Available at Missguided, the smart jumpsuit is easily affordable and works wonders to dress up or down. Teaming the fauc leather gilet with silver detailing is a classic option that works every time. The mirrored aviator sunglasses finish the look perfectly for a rockstar effect.

I think it's safe to say that Balmain is becoming one of the most powerful fashion brands out there. With more and more Celebrities sporting beautiful pieces from Balmain, it's no wonder so many are being seen in new campaigns, the latest dresses and some one-off garments that cost more than an arm and a leg! So here's a few of Balmains most famous fans...

Kendall Jenner 

Strutting down the Pierre Balmain catwalk, sporting all-leather outfits and more, Kendall is up there at the top when it comes to being a Balmain fan. Kendall has even taken her big sister Kim Kardashian backstage and let her feel the true sense of what it's like to be in the Balmain army. Kendall can wear absolutely any outfit from Balmain and look a million dollars. Envious...

Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian is also one of the top fans of Balmain. Even contacting the designer to create her a custom dress (featured top left) which is the only one of its kind. The structure and designs of Balmain enhance Kim's famous figure perfectly. Kim also posed with husband Kanye West in one of the most popular Balmain campaigns of all time.

Rihanna
Rihanna was recently seen wearing the latest catwalk designs at the Balmain Paris after party. Rihanna's radiant skin tone looks amazing against the military green leather combo, and is accessorised down to a t. Rihanna's style means she can pull off absolutley any Balmain garment in seconds.





Cara Delevigne
One of the newest fans of Balmain is Cara Delevigne. Recently seen at the AW16 Balmain show, she turned up in a vertically striped horizontal one-piece which turned heads in an instant.

Cara recently modelled for the newest Balmain campaign wearing an all-leather tassle dress and effortlessly gave off the biker-chic look with ease.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley 

Famously showcasing the newest dress from Balmain at the Met Gala last year, Rosie Huntington-Whitely made an impact on everyone. The beautiful super model walked effortlessly down the red carpet in an all-leather long sleeved Balmain dress featuring a number of sparkling embellishments, a fitted leather belt and leopard print stripes. Her latest outfit grabbed the attention of the press when she showed off her wonderful figure in a black and yellow deep plunge jumpsuit. I'm in love!

Joan Smalls 
Being a well known catwalk supermodel, it's no wonder Joan Smalls is a huge Balmain fan.
