RUNWAY: Pierre Balmain FW13

Pierre Balmain, the diffusion line from the French house, opted for a demure collection. Unlike the elaborate detailing we saw at Balmain's FW13 presentation in Paris, Pierre Balmain focused instead of key pieces like supple leather jackets and military coats with dramatic collars. The lower priced line offers a slice of the luxury that comes with the Balmain name and history.
