Balmain, founded by Pierre Balmain in 1945, is renowned for its sophisticated, elegant designs that epitomize Parisian luxury. The brand initially gained fame for its tailored daywear and lavish evening gowns, including the popularization of stoles for day and night. After Pierre Balmain's passing in 1982, several notable designers, including Erik Mortensen, Oscar de la Renta, and Christophe Decarnin, led the house, each influencing its aesthetic evolution.
In 2011, Olivier Rousteing became creative director, bringing a youthful, bold vision to the brand. His approach blended the brand's luxurious heritage with contemporary, inclusive values, fostering the globally recognized "Balmain Army." Today, Balmain stands as a dynamic force in fashion, balancing tradition with modernity.
