Today’s Balmain melds the storied heritage of a historic Parisian couture house with the bold, modern and inclusive vision of Olivier Rousteing, the house’s 35-year-old Creative Director, who is determined to design clothes that reflect the way his generation wishes to dress today. The result is a truly unique and recognizable silhouette, style and attitude that build upon the singular craftsmanship that the house’s ateliers are celebrated for.
“I don’t know where we’re going, but I do know that we are going somewhere. The point is not the destination but the actual going; the journey, the leaving—and the escape.” Olivier Rousteing
