Balmain has just unveiled its Fall-Winter 2024-2025 ready-to-wear collection. The Parisian fashion house staged a fashion show around the theme of a country picnic, a real interlude after the theft of its latest spring-summer collections last September. The Bobigny court, which tried the perpetrators of the crime, held its deliberations on the same day.<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

For its Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 ready-to-wear show, Balmain invites visitors to lunch on the grass in the Bordeaux vineyards, a tribute to the roots of designer Olivier Rousteing. Rousteing later moved to the French capital to study fashion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The bucolic inspiration follows in the wake of Rousteing’s previous spring-summer 2024 ready-to-wear floral collection, which was conceived as a catharsis following the traumatic theft of 50 pieces from that season’s show. The suspects recently went on trial, and the verdict was delivered on the very day of the show.<\/p>\n

A return to Bordeaux roots<\/h2>\n

On February 28, a host of stars, from French-Malian singer Aya Nakamura<\/strong> to Californian star Cher<\/strong> and Turkish it-girl Hande Ercel<\/strong>, flocked to the Pavillon Cambon to watch Olivier Rousteing’s new Balmain<\/strong> collection parade under the glass roof.<\/p>\n

This new show mirrors the Fall-Winter 2020-2021 collection<\/strong>, featured in Olivier Rousteing’s introspective documentary “Wonder Boy” about questioning his origins and searching for his biological mother<\/strong>. For his Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 collection, the young designer chose to celebrate the city of his childhood, Bordeaux, and his adoptive mother, Lydia Rousteing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A mother to whom the 39-year-old designer paid a vibrant tribute, including a musical one in the form of the lyrical and poignant track “La Vita” by Philadelphia-born American trans singer Beverly Glenn Copeland<\/strong>, whose jingle “Enjoy Your Life… My Mother Said To Me” was recently covered by another LGBTQIA+ community figure, the member of indie band The XX, Romy, in her first solo album.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The gingham print<\/strong>, which reminds the designer of his fondness for picnics<\/strong> in his company, with a sheet decorated with those famous checks spread out on the grass, is the real thread running through the collection.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To evoke his Bordeaux childhood, Olivier Rousteing turned to two symbols of the region: the bunch of grapes and the snail<\/strong>. The former can be used as a handbag or printed in an all-over pattern, while the latter serves as a golden detail on a belt, jewelry or buttons.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Evoking Pierre Balmain’s signature “Jolie Madame” silhouette, emphasizing the waist with carinated shoulders, the pleated version of the trench coat<\/strong> was undoubtedly the centerpiece of the collection, playing on colors (black, beige…) and materials (cotton gabardine, leather…).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Most of the outfits in the wardrobe were accessorized with the Maison’s latest it-bag: the Jolie Madame bag<\/strong> and its singular isosceles triangle shape.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To cope with the first frosts, there were also plenty of sweaters and coats.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The beginning of a legal epilogue<\/h2>\n
