Fall/winter 2012-13 at Balmain Homme is full of military references and refined biker looks. There are double-breasted jackets, long cotton t-shirts, and soldier-inspired braided and embroidered details. Balmain's rock 'n roll era is reflected in the padded leather jackets and iconic Decarin pants with knee patches, which Rousteing has reinterpreted with silk and velvet.
Guerrino Santulliana stars in the lookbook, which was photographed by Karim Sadli.
