Balmain S/S 2024 Paris

[Deleted member 1957]

There are some references of other brands but as a whole I like it. Less stuffy than previous Balmain collections though someof the proportions are a little off.

"My collection was stolen when a delivery truck was hijacked by a group of people" is so camp, though. Like something out of Zoolander or Cruella.

It happened before to Marc Jacobs. Luckily it was after the show.

As long as the construction is superb, I think there's always some room for brands like these in high fashion. The power shoulder pieces are so Alexis Carrington levels of camp.

Article about the collection on The Guardian and he talks about the stolen pieces:

Olivier Rousteing shrugs off robbery to helm glossy Balmain show

"In the show notes for the collection, Rousteing revealed that the Paris police had recovered the stolen van and some of the boxes that had contained the clothes, by then empty. He paid tribute to his team and the people who offered support after news of the robbery. “You were exhausted already, but you found the strength needed to help ensure that a robbery would not affect our runway. Now, even more than before, I am filled with admiration for your talents and gratitude for your amazing spirit.”
