Kim Kardashian stuns at Balmain show at Paris Fashion Week

Show producers had painstakingly attached thousands of branches and leaves to the arches and walls in the stately home venue near the famed Champs-Elysees avenue just for the 10-minute show.

Cinch-waists, sexy cutouts and voluminous proportions in shawls, bell pants and skirts defined the silhouette that moved from the excess of the '80s to some rather unexpected tribal — and even Masai — styles toward the end.

[...] some other styles towed the line between stylish and bold perfectly, such as a petrol blue one-shouldered bodice with sporty, sensual cut outs.

Culotte jumpsuits, '70s bells sleeves, stylish center partings and voluminous floor sweeping silk dresses that fanned out dramatically at the hem captured — with subtlety — Waight Keller's go-to era of the bohemian.

Optical plays of lines and interlocking hoop motifs gave this collection a contagious energy that really felt like spring was in the air.

Fabric was tied into unyielding abstract shapes and placed on the model, as if Owens — in an artistic exercise — was trying to completely ignore the contours of the human body beneath.

Whole skirt pieces were placed flapping down in front of the model's bare, uncovered legs, questioning philosophically the whole point of creating clothes to wear.

Strong diagonal lines in sportswear tops and eye-catching minis made this the boldest collection so far for the relatively new designers who are already garnering praise.
