Looking like fashion icon Rihanna has just become seamlessly easy with the new Balmain Fall 2014 runway collection.
Everything about the Balmain Fall 2014 runway collection screams of Rihanna's tomboyish, sexy and flashy style. Known to be a muse of sorts to designer Olivier Rousteing, the pop star is not only a major inspiration to the designer but also the current face of the brand.
The new collection is all about safari with a lot of olive hues, front-pocketed utilitarian jackets and cargo pants -- and of course a touch of leopard and zebra prints to keep it Rihanna-authentic. The designer was able to turn safari into high-fashion by adorning the pieces with luxe leathers, opulent silks and gold chain inlays.
The collection features fit-and-flair tops and dresses, body-hugging skirts, slouchy leather jackets, loose jumpsuits and woven rope dresses.
