Fashions by Balmain are shown in Paris, a new spring collection titled Jolie Madame de Paris. This year, the key word is suppleness - exemplified in fabric, line, and contour. Women pose for the cameras in fancy dresses. The first is a slim silhouette that looks as if it's made of fabric draped around the model, with a belted waist. Woman shows off a sleeveless, floral-print gown typical of the time, with form-fitting bodice and very full skirt, elbow-length gloves and pearl necklace. Another strapless evening gown that looks like it's made of white gauze, almost.
