Olivier Rousteing is famously liberal with his use of the
Balmain logo, but this season sees him change tack, dipping into the legendary archives to unearth the label's monogram. First unveiled by Pierre Balmain in the 60s, it's an angular graphic that spells out the founder's initials. In a synthesis of old and new, it now cloaks the sporty silhouette of this gilet: fitted with a high neck and hood, it's padded all over to lock in warmth.
