'The postponement of the Balmain Homme show according to schedule was well worth the wait. Olivier Rousteing delivered yet another collection based on rock influence, but rotating the looks around variants of glam from past eras, creating this blend of rock glamour through the decades but with a modern interpretation. So yes it was a relief to see no big hair, bold makeup and excessive piercings and tattoos. Whew!!! What was interesting was the style correctness drawn from Michael Jackson as there was quite a unique element that was so reminiscent of Michael. For instance, the cropped pant hemlines which were achieved by rolling them up, exposing white socks that was seen a lot back in the day.... Even on Michael back in the 90s. The use of colour in ways that are reminiscent of the 60s and 70s, especially the panels and silhouettes and jacket styles. Then with the first glimpse of metallic silver and it was apparent we were either back to the 80s or way forward in the future. What was also refreshing was to see relaxed, almost unstructured silhouettes. Oversized shoulders, extra sleeve lengths added an effortless quality which will be welcomed in today\'s apparently busy times.'
