About Balmain
Founded in 1945, Pierre Balmain introduced what became known as the “New French Style”—a vision focused on construction, proportion, and clean architectural lines rather than excessive ornamentation.
Trained as an architect and having apprenticed under designers such as Christian Dior, Pierre Balmain brought precision and scale to couture. He was also among the first Parisian couturiers to recognise the importance of the American luxury market.
In 2011, Olivier Rousteing was appointed Creative Director at just 25 years old. Having previously worked under Christophe Decarnin and Roberto Cavalli, Rousteing revitalised the house with a bold, youthful, and globally influential aesthetic.
Under his leadership, Balmain has:
- Strengthened its presence at Paris Fashion Week
- Expanded internationally, including standalone boutiques in London and New York
- Fused couture craftsmanship with modern rock-inspired glamour
Balmain today merges heritage construction with contemporary impact across both women’s and men’s collections.
