Photos of Balmain's More Affordable Line: Pierre Balmain 2011-07-27 07:17:16

Paris fashion house Balmain just released images of its new, more affordable Pierre Balmain line, set to launch for Spring 2012. The new collection, described as more casual and downtown, is easier on the pocketbook compared to its main line, with prices ranging from around $172 to $1,291 for dresses, knitwear, leather, tees, and denim. Still not cheap by any means, but much less than the crazy $1,400 price tag on a t-shirt from the original Balmain line. The collection will be available online by the end of the year. Check out the slideshow to see more looks from the collection; will you be adding a piece to your wish list?
