Inspired by...Balmain - *Updated 11/7/09*

See bottom of post for update.

The strong shoulder was a key element of Balmain's Fall 2009 ready to wear collection, and this dress is no exception (exact retail price is unknown).


While not as elaborate, this Silence & Noise dress is a great inspired by option if you're trying to recreate the exaggerated shoulders as seen on the runway. This dress retails for $58 and you can click on the photo below to purchase.


*Update - 11/7/09* - Lulu's now has a tunic that definitely has some Balmain influence. It retails for $27 and you can click here to purchase.
