These short in the front, long in the back dresses at the Balmain ready-to-wear show for Spring 2009 are nothing 'short' of stunning. The gowns flow wonderfully, allowing an unhindered view of the edgy, studded rock 'n roll inspired shoes.
The two-toned purple dress has a fabulous belt-like detailing that reflects the design of the footwear. A fuchsia one-shouldered dress with wrapped elements and metallic flashes is an asymmetrical beauty.
I wonder if the train sections are removable for a true mini-dress style.
