Olivier Rousteing pays homage to Pierre Balmain and his luxurious French style that defined the brand decades ago. The collection reflects on Balmain’s lengthy history while simultaneously looking at the future. The archives of Balmain reveal that Pierre Balmain’s passion for architecture heavily influenced his work. Balmain often highlighted the connection between the work of an architect and that of a couturier. The collection draws inspiration from historical references to showcase the transformative journey of the Balmain legacy.

In contrast to the prevalent streetwear trend, Rousteing’s collection showcased elegance and timelessness, emphasizing the importance of quality and craftsmanship in the new gen of fashion. The garments are characterized by impeccable tailoring, featuring feminine and alluring necklines, refined cuts, dresses inspired by tuxedos, monogrammed pieces, and suede suiting. Towards the conclusion of the show, a few looks were adorned with elaborate pearl embellishments, adding a touch of opulence. Bravo, Balmain!
