I have a difficult time falling in love with prints. As in, "get that away from me unless it's a dainty, washed out, grandma-like floral". I'm oh so wrong, and now I really know it.
Sometimes, Paris-based Balmain is hit or miss with me, but the Resort 2012 collection knocked my face off. I was able to tack it back on long enough to watch the slideshow on my smartphone before we made it to the hospital. Okay, I'm obviously kidding, but I haven't been this impressed with every look coming down the runway (or stairs, here)... oh, ever.
Inspired by a myriad of things (see: Elvis, Americana biker chick, Native American prints, military, Rock 'n' Roll) new Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing debuts his collection for Resort 2012.
I'm impressed.

| Crisp ivory blazer, killer pants, and look at those boots! |
 |
I love this sequin 'print' on the skirt. Great use of metallic.
Again with the boots! |
 |
| Fan.Tastic. |
 |
| I would wear this everyday. |
 |
| Killer printed mini with a long tuxedo style blazer? Yes, please. |
 |
This blazer pretty much rocks.
There are those booties again! |
 |
| But look at the printed tuxedo-pant stripe down these puppies! |
 |
| A romper that really works. |
 |
| Slinky how-does-that-even-stay-up jumpsuit. Neat. |
