He steps forward with the models, bows several times to the crowd, then runs off backstage. Is he hoping for an encore like the biggest performers? Or perhaps he\u2019s genuinely daunted by the crowd, despite being incredibly famous on social media, where he ranks as the most followed designer on the planet, with over nine million Instagram followers. Besides, he is also on a first-name basis with Neymar Jr., Usher, and President Emmanuel Macron. Not to mention the entire <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/culture-en\/movies\/which-iconic-actress-will-direct-kim-kardashian-in-a-netflix-comedy\/\">Kardashian<\/a><\/strong> clan, past and today&#8217;s top models, or singer Jennifer Lopez and <a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/culture\/musique\/will-beyonce-turn-into-a-rock-star-on-her-next-album\/\"><strong>Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p data-start=\"120\" data-end=\"749\">The young French artistic director is a textbook case and compels admiration, not only for his success, but for his personal journey, tenacity, and candour too. \u201c<em>My life is a lot less glamorous than my Instagram account<\/em>,\u201d he often warns journalists at the start of any interview. Originally from Bordeaux, <a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/mode\/fashion-week\/olivier-rousteing-enhances-jean-paul-gaultiers-iconic-pieces-2\/\"><strong>Olivier Rousteing<\/strong><\/a> was abandoned at birth. Although his adoptive parents doted on him, he was determined to make his own way and take some sort of revenge on life. Outside of school, where he was a top student, the teenager spent his time sketching girls and boys dressed in flamboyant costumes, like superheroes with special powers.<\/p><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BbLcsBnlo54\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BbLcsBnlo54<\/a><\/div>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Balmain Spring\/Summer 2026 show.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A meteoric rise<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p data-start=\"751\" data-end=\"1246\">When he turned 18, <strong>Olivier Rousteing<\/strong> rushed to Paris to study <a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/category\/fashion\/\">fashion<\/a> design. But the courses were too academic for his fiery, passionate temperament, and he dropped out just after a few months in. He headed to Italy with his sketches in his bags. First to Rome, then Florence, where he landed an internship at <strong>Roberto Cavalli<\/strong>. He was soon hired and quickly climbed the ranks, contributing to both the men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s collections of the Tuscan designer known for his love for prints of wild animals.<\/p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p data-start=\"1248\" data-end=\"1719\">In 2009, the young designer returned to Paris after being hired to assist <strong>Christophe Decarnin<\/strong>, then creative director of <a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/mode\/fashion-week\/protective-armours-brought-by-olivier-rousteing-for-the-balmain-fall-winter-2022-2023-collection-2\/\"><strong>Balmain<\/strong><\/a>. He was the same age as most of the studio assistants, but his experience was already far greater. And he still carried that relentless drive to succeed, paired with an energy able to move mountains. So much so that just two years later, the house on rue Fran\u00e7ois-Ier entrusted him with its creative direction without hesitation.<\/p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p data-start=\"99\" data-end=\"666\">Since the founder\u2019s passing in 1982, the house has seen a series of designers and stylists coming and going. It belongs to that group of Parisian labels whose identity had never been clearly defined. The first bricks of the glamorous style claimed by the new creative director had, in fact, been laid by his predecessor. <strong>Rousteing<\/strong> took that aesthetic and made it his own regardless. He amplified it boldly, as if he had nothing to lose, with his extravagant use of stones, pearls, lace, embroidery and crystals, gold and silver lam\u00e9. The more, the better.<\/p><\/p>\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a277c69b42f2&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a277c69b42f2\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/final_2defile-balmain-homme-printemps-ete-2020-olivier-rousteing-jardin-des-plantes-numero-magazine-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-518248\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The finale of the Balmain Spring\/Summer 2020 menswear show.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><h2>The <em>Wonder<\/em> <em>Boy<\/em> of fashion<\/h2><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p data-start=\"668\" data-end=\"929\"><strong>Olivier Rousteing<\/strong>\u2019s early collections were mainly womenswear. A few pairs of jeans with quilted reinforcements, like biker pants, ripped T-shirts, and tough-guy jackets with broad shoulders made up a capsule for men that was gradually expanded.<\/p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p data-start=\"931\" data-end=\"1267\">By the Spring\/Summer 2016 season, the men&#8217;s wardrobe had become a whole collection, with its own dedicated show. The thrill of the runway electrified the creativity of the \u201c<strong>Wonder Boy<\/strong>\u201d &#8211; the title of his 2019 Netflix documentary &#8211; and soon enough, his presentations would feature twice as many looks as those presented by his peers.<\/p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p data-start=\"54\" data-end=\"343\">In terms of style, the Balmain man has no equal in Paris. His looks are true ensembles that draw on the history of menswear at large. From military uniforms and Oriental garments to the optimistic, joyful, and uninhibited fashion of the 1980s, an important reference for<strong> Olivier Rousteing<\/strong>.<\/p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p data-start=\"345\" data-end=\"878\">Yet, the designer seemed to be reinventing himself in his latest shows. One can think of the bohemian looks from the <strong>Spring\/Summer 2026<\/strong> collection or the pared-down silhouettes from the <strong>Fall\/Winter 2025-2026<\/strong> show. There, he was clearly offering a new wardrobe. These collections revealed his ability to renew himself, even after more than a decade at the helm of one of the greatest Parisian fashion houses\u2026 While his departure, announced on Wednesday 5th of November, took the fashion world by surprise, <strong>Olivier Rousteing<\/strong> will no doubt continue to make us dream.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olivier Rousteing, a designer rooted in his time At the end of every Balmain show, [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/fashion\/olivier-rousteing-leaves-balmain-focus-on-a-fashion-prodigy\/\">Read More&#8230;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> from Olivier Rousteing leaves Balmain: Focus on a fashion prodigy<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":754061,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[68,97],"tags":[1881,1878],"class_list":["post-754473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fashion","category-fashion-news","tag-balmain-en","tag-olivier-rousteing-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Olivier Rousteing leaves Balmain: Focus on a fashion prodigy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Olivier Rousteing leaves Balmain after 14 years spent as creative director of the house.
