Renuka Ramanujam for Balmain - Capsule Collection

So I found this old thing lying around the other day, thought it might kickstart the career in a small way.  At least in my mind.  Don't really like it, Balmain's too sharp edged for me.  When I try and enjoy it, it sort of pokes me.  It's hard to explain.  I'm just a true Boho at heart.  Don't hate me for it.  Coachella and Woodstock are/were my calling!  Here goes anyway, just for the hell of it.  I tried to mix some bohemian in there, you can decide for yourself if I've done that successfully or not.

This one has to be my all time favourite - there are a few takers for graduation next year.  If I weren't going to wear a sari, this would probably be it.  Oh, the possibilities.  Hehe, kind of cheated, went a bit Grecian here alreadyyy.

and even more Grecian/Egyptian. I am a failure.

Kind of reminiscent of the dress that Florence Welch wore in her Dog Days are Over video.  I JUST realised.  Well this collection is looking very un-Balmain-ish if I may so myself, at the moment.

                                     The Supposed Statement piece.  oopss for the edge cutting off.

                          Those flowers took me forever to draw.  Just saying.

All in all, I think I threw everything that was possible in there, guess the hippie roots never will escape me.  Not too shabby for a first try, methinks.  This summer there's going to be more where that came from.
