Revealing the rebellious inner self, the collection showcases graphic elements that enhance shapes and styles. Olivier Rousteing’s signature black and gold color palette takes center stage in pieces that channel 75 years of heritage. The iconic labyrinth pattern, inspired by the renaissance gardens of France, receives a modern update, gracing shoes and bags with a captivating flair.

Balmain encourages us to embrace audacious looks, experimenting with satin jackets, wool coats featuring tailored collars, and meticulously detailed accessories. Fearless sneakers and boots, boasting vibrant, graphic designs, capturing the adventurous spirit.

Hypnotic lines grace T-shirts, sweatshirts, pants, and jackets, creatively outlining silhouettes. Striking metallic buckles become focal points on belts and bags, adding a touch of glamour to the ensemble.

Every Balmain order is a luxurious experience in itself. The brand ensures that each item is carefully wrapped in unique gift packaging, delivered in a box adorned with the iconic monogram motif. To safeguard the integrity of each piece, Balmain employs measures such as tissue paper for protection, cotton pouches for bags, shoes, and accessories, covers and hangers for jackets, outerwear, and embroidered pieces. Customers can add a personal touch to their orders by including a message of their choosing, enhancing the bespoke experience that comes with every Balmain purchase.
