In the reign of Olivier Rousteing, if we could narrow
Balmain’s aesthetic down to one item, it would have to be the blazer. The blueprint that this rendition is cut to – double-breasted, padded shoulders and shawl lapels – is one that has been around since he took his seat (longer, in fact), although its latest incarnation vetoes the figure-hugging silhouette of its predecessors in favour of one cut to a louche oversized profile.
