Balmain Homme
French fashion house Balmain was founded by Pierre Balmain in 1945, famed for his elegant almost architectural creations. In 1982 after Balmain’s death, the house was lead creatively by a succession of designers including his close colleague Erik Mortensen and Oscar de la Renta. Balmain has been given a potent injection of rock ‘n’ roll attitude by its previous designer Christophe Decarnin and recent collections have garnered huge press attention for their sexy 1980s-inspired silhouettes and deluxe aesthetic. Olivier Rousteing has this year been appointed as the new head of design.
