Ten years ago, at the young age of 25,<\/b> Olivier Rousteing took over as artistic director of Balmain, taking the illustrious house founded in 1945 to the pinnacle of fame with collections tailored for celebrities, flamboyant fashion shows, and a sensational media presence. A star among stars, the French designer is also at the center of a moving documentary<\/a> and organized for the second time a music festival<\/a> with 6000 guests during which Jessie Joe Stark, Doja Cat<\/a> and Franz Ferdinand performed. This is not surprising for this self-confessed music lover who invited Yseult for his couture collection in 2020<\/a> and dressed Beyonc\u00e9 for her concert at Coachella in 2018<\/a>. It was with a speech by the latter that the spring-summer 2022 show of the house, which celebrated its decade at Balmain, began.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Very personal, this collection – ultra graphic by its use of black and white – <\/b>undoubtedly draws on the designer’s youth and offers a reinterpretation of 90s and 2000s fashion with his ultra-sexy power dressing, low-rise pants and pop star micro-dresses. The collection contains numerous references to his previous collections, such as fringes and metal weaves, gathers and quilts made by Lesage. There are also 3D molded and draped creations – which echo Zendaya’s dress<\/a> at the Venice Film Festival – made using innovative molding techniques. Finally, last year, after an accident that caused him many burns, he spent several months recovering. A painful episode that inspired her to create some dresses made from light bandages that evoke bandages and compresses, as well as strap details and golden bandage-like rings to hide the scars. <\/p>\n

To close this already emotional show, Olivier Rousteing gives us a grandiose finale, which is reminiscent of the fall-winter 2021 collection<\/a>, or the tribute show of the house of Versace to its founder Gianni in 2017<\/a>. Naomi Campbell<\/a>, Adut Akech, Natalia Vodianova, Mila Jovovitch, so Joo Park, Lara Stone, Cindy Bruna<\/a>, Karen Elson, appeared more glamorous than ever in looks from the house’s archives reissued in precious and luxurious versions. It was under a general ovation,the supermodel, singer and former first lady Carla Bruni<\/a> closed this show, dressed in a rigid mini dress entirely embroidered, inspired by an iconic model of the house from the fall-winter 2012 collection. More than ever, Olivier Rousteing is a rock star and the Balmain house has a bright future ahead of it.<\/p>\n\n
