A pair of Pierre Balmain jeans may not cost you $2000, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less awesome than its higher-end older sister. The label is far from Balmain-lite and doesn’t scrimp on the same edgy aesthetic that makes the fashion community go gaga. Just check out their spring 2012 lookbook! We love the classic (but super fierce) combination of high-contrast blacks and whites because it’s hard not to make a statement. Snejana Onopka models the mix of cropped cigarette jeans, zebra prints, motorcycle jackets, zippers, and crisply cuffed shirts, all while sending a clear message: go big, go bold, or go home.

In preparation for the debut of their Fall 2011 line, Guess has donned a new Campaign, featuring new It Girl Amber Heard as the fresh face for the new line. The Old Hollywood Glamour shots (a la Marilyn Monroe) is more than fitting as their new Fall Collection includes romantic blouses and sky high platform shoes that say, “Au Contraire, I’m a Lady!” The focal point of the collection is on the denim, of course and we just so happen to love the Britney Skinny Jean and the Cropped Cigarette Jean, both shown here in the photos. When paired together, with a pale pastel blazer and a great leather satchel bag, (think Kim Kardashian) these pieces can make any girl feel luxe.
