Catch up with Part 1 and Part 2 if you haven’t already! Balmain At what point will you have Kendall Jenner heading a fashion show, along with Gigi Hadid and Jourdan Dunn walking directly after? At Balmain, it seems. And if this isn’t quite the return of the supermodel, then I don’t know what is. If you ever expect majestic notions, expect it from Balmain. The main difference in this collection as opposed to others was there was not necessarily a stand-out piece but more so, a stand-out outfit. It was indeed a head-to-toe affair, some of which in one colour or tones of, with a focus on fabric and textures. At first, there was Kendall, who walked out in iced silver. It is not often a model is fully covered as such (minus the weird and creative side of fashion), but along with Kendall’s new bleached blonde tresses, it made for a strong statement. Baroque is definitely not a new theme, especially when concerning Milanese and Parisian fashion. But I felt Olivier Rousteing so carefully …

Either way, wearing all-black never gets old, but do be surprised when you do see colour, even in the slightest. Roland Mouret One of the best things that the designer find solutions for is how a woman should dress for her figure. How best to accentuate the feminine curves of the body and the solution that Roland Mouret found for that was in the cut, in the panelling to be exact. The opening look was so strong. Applying shape to a fabulously shaped body already is quite the formula to make. From top to bottom she was covered but it was every inch sensual and bold with the fabric combinations, and said panelling. The sweeping curved lines hugged under and over the hip, under and over the bust. It was definitely a lesson in understanding the human female body more. Then, there was the pop of colour …
