Designing menswear taught Rousteing to loosen up, and Fall 2017 shows it. The tight, short, heavily built Balmain look was still there, but for the first time there was a wider range of ways to dress.
The theme followed his menswear show: rock gods, and 90s grunge in particular. His big idea was to take the plain T-shirt and make it extravagant. It came hung with gold chains, covered in garnet beads or matte gold sequins, cut in tortoiseshell velvet and printed with a pack of wolves. Around it he layered black, brown and gold: sheer mohair knits, suede miniskirts studded with grommets, huge sleeveless shearling coats, tie-dye tees and dresses, and very long legging boots in suede and snakeskin.
Loosened up does not mean lightened up. Everything was embroidered within an inch of its life, and Kurt Cobain would hardly recognise this as grunge. But Rousteing picked up on something true about that scene, which is how freely it treated gender. That fits a designer who has always pushed for diversity on his runway.
It is loud, rich and completely sure of itself. Conviction has never been his problem.
