Balmain might be the forerunner for military-inspired tailoring, but the Parisian house often tempers its tough influences with a sense of romance – as we can see in pieces like this cotton-blend mini dress. Finished in tweed-textured checks, the A-line silhouette is framed by fringed trims that sharpen its shape despite their soft, frayed texture. And, for that all-important sign off, it’s armed with gold-toned hardware courtesy of the button embellishments.
