Olivier Rousteing looked to the ’50s for inspiration for
Balmain’s AW18 collection. No, not the 1950s – we mean 2050. Imagining our sartorial choices 30 years from now, the Creative Director douses almost all of the silhouettes that traipsed the carpeted runway in sparkling sequins. Using metallic silver-tone renditions to create a chainmail-style profile for this dress, its coin buttons bring it back to present day.
