In fashion, when opposites attract—the result is always appealing. For proof, look no further than Balmain, a brand known for its androgynous designs that have a strong feminine bend.

The result is a determined urban look for the confident woman who appreciates a masculine edge without renouncing femininity. —Laura Randaccio
