Balmain’s inimitable blend of structured tailoring and luxe glamour has made the French maison an icon. With acclaimed creative director Olivier Rousteing at the helm, the house’s collections always shatter expectations with their military-inspired tailoring and biker detailing. Balmain is perhaps most well known for its blazers and shoulder-strong dresses. It has a strong following with the fashion crowd with its altogether more modern, decadent glamour.
“Balmain’s inimitable blend of structured tailoring and luxe glamour has made the French maison an icon.”
Characterised by their strong shoulders, nipped in waists and embellished with signature Balmain buttons, some of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe are my classic Balmain blazers. They are versatile, whether paired with jeans and stilettos or worn with a tailored skirt for a business meeting. Whenever I put on one of Balmain’s pieces I immediately feel ready for the day, it gives your silhouette a little more structure and adds formality along with glamour. Whilst they are fairly expensive I have worn my jacket so many times in so many settings that I consider it one of the core investment pieces in my wardrobe.
