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 pure wool silhouette of its predecessors in favour of one cut from buttery soft leather. Very Balmain, no?
