80 years of Balmain : The Balmain Jacket Since its debut in Pierre Balmain’s first collection in 1945, the tailored jacket has remained a signature piece. Inspired by the sharp structure and symbolism of the Breton sailor’s uniform, Balmain reinterpreted it with functional elegance, masculine in its authority, yet feminine in its silhouette. | Balmain

80 Years of Balmain: Embroidery Pierre Balmain’s ultimate expression of identity and craftsmanship is embroidery, haute couture refined to its purest form, transforming motifs into embroidered surfaces that merge tradition with bold modernity. Each piece blurs the line between garment and artwork, showcasing the House’s mastery, artistry, and visionary savoir-faire. | Balmain

80 Years of Balmain: Paris Pierre Balmain had a profound connection to Paris, a city that inspired much of his work. He often named his designs after the city itself or its iconic landmarks. Once these designs were brought to life, models were photographed against Paris’s most emblematic sites. He introduced the new French style and the “Jolie Madame” silhouette, featuring sculpted shoulders, nipped waists, and six buttons, which defined his signature. | Balmain

BALMAIN SPRING 2024: TAILORING Channeling Pierre Balmain’s architectural mastery of sculptural shapes and precision tailoring, the Balmain Spring 2024 runway pairs the atelier’s sharp cuts with the soft curves of jackets and skirts transformed by crinoline. The monochromatic silhouettes in signature Balmain black-and-white are enriched with romantic floral details - from buttons to handbags in bloom. #BALMAINSS24 | Balmain
