Women's luxury summer clothing, designer pieces for the warm season: Balmain's summer keeps the precision of the house and lightens the fabric. Cotton, fluid viscose, linen and lightweight denim let the flou do its work — soft draping, controlled gathering, slits that reveal and conceal with poise. House prints, the labyrinth monogram and gold-tone hardware punctuate dresses, skirts, tops, pyjama-collar shirts and swimwear. Boxy cuts for the day, draping closer to the body for the evening. Made in Italy, these pieces layer and separate as the season moves on, from the water's edge into the city.
