Balmain revolutionizes thanks to avant-garde fashion
Balmain was founded in 1945 by Pierre Balmain. From the outset, Monsieur Balmain’s boldly feminine and opulent style offered a stunning contrast to the utilitarian looks of the time, creating a distinctive, super-feminine DNA for the house, which relied on richly embroidered fabrics, pinched waists and longer, often fuller skirts – and quickly transformed the Parisian house into a favourite of both the European and Hollywood kings.
Collaborations with Superstar cast
Balmain is diverse. This also applies to their collaborations. Whether haute couture for the small purse, exquisite make-up for the emancipated woman or luxurious sports fashion: there is something for everyone. You can also see the brand’s most famous mannequins here.

Innovative & avant-garde jewellery
Balmain is pleased to announce the rebirth of the accessories collection of the historic Parisian house. When creative director Olivier Rousteing and his team developed the new lines, they drew on three different sources of inspiration: the unique history of the house, the Balmain studio’s continued mastery of traditional couture techniques and the instantly recognisable style that Rousteing has established for the house over the past five years. The result is a coherent, modern offering based on the best materials, craftsmen and design – in short, a genuine Balmain collection.
