Balmain

About Balmain

Balmain is a French luxury house founded in 1945 by Pierre Balmain, credited with pioneering the "New French Style". Now led by creative director Antonin Tron, the house draws on more than 80 years of savoir-faire while keeping a sensual, body-conscious edge. Menswear is built around tailoring: blazers with six gold-tone buttons, standing-collar blousons, monogrammed knitwear, cotton jersey T-shirts and jeans carrying an embossed leather Balmain Paris label. Built shoulders and clean lines do the talking, with wool, cotton, leather and tweed worked in Italy to couture-level finishing. The result is a wardrobe meant to move from day into evening.
