Today Balmain just showcased the Fall 2015 collection during Paris Fashion Week.It was a beautiful clothing line, but i have to say that i had a déjà vu when i saw it.Although i am a fan of Olivier Rousteing and i admire his work, i can't help to feel like his latest collections are so very similar.I understand the idea that fashion houses have to be recognised by a certain style, but i believe that they also have to reinvent it in a way that keeps the brand's spirit and also brings something new every time.
The black dress below somehow looks like the longer version of the red dress from the Pre-Fall collection.Of course, it's not identical but it follows the same idea.

The colorful ensemble reminded me of another one from the Spring/Summer 2015 collection.Sure, one has lace and the other one it's all about prints, but it's the same combination of clothes really.

The outfit below just seems to have more stripes than the one from Spring/Summer show.

And of course that stripes couldn't miss.This one is not a jumpsuit like the one from Spring/Summer but it goes in the same direction.

The fringed dresses looked like the ones presented in the Pre-Fall collection.These are the ones that look very much alike.

And finally, this dress seems to have very much in common with the green jumpsuit from the Pre-Fall collection.

So, as you can see the Fall collection is more a combination between the Spring/Summer and Pre-Fall lines.There is nothing new about the collection or something that we haven't seen before.Let's hope that Olivier's imagination will dazzle us in his future collections.
