Olivier Rousteing has every reason to be bold and brave. He’s the go-to designer for the celeb and jetsetting set all around the globe. He has amassed over 3 million Instagram followers, and counting by the minute. Balmain just got a major new owner—none other than Mayhoola for Investments, which also owns Valentino and put over a half a million dollars on the table to acquire the French fashion house. And he’s just collaborated with Nike.
His latest offerings for his Spring 2017 menswear collection were as flashy and fearless as ever. And to quote the phrase that everyone’s using right now: it’s clear that Rousteing has the range. The assortment kicked off with denim and ended with nighttime-perfect wear. So that you essentially can wear Balmain all day, in every way, for every occasion.
Glamour, embellishment, and color were on high: as are pretty much requisite for Balmain at this point. A glitter-adorned jumpsuit on Cindy Bruna screamed red carpet premiere, while a cobalt suede poncho and backpack were the perfect blend of function and texture.
Metallics had a moment on a gold tassel necklace and strappy metal sandals. And a sculpted choker on Tami Williams lent the finishing touches to a colorful printed long jacket and trousers.
Classic stripes were variegated and a veritable hue explosion, with combinations of cobalt, kelly green, pink, rust, and more. The fashion house’s trademark weaving was present on women’s tops and mini dresses—”going out” gear if ever there was any. And Rousteing juxtaposed that with easy, yet lavish takes on the classic sweatshirt and sweatpant pairing for men. Effortless slides anchored many of the looks and presented the best bets that the brand has for an “it” accessory for the season.
Crochet definitely channeled Spring, without feeling kitschy or overdone. It accented an on-trend halter crop top, high-waist ankle grazing skirt, a mini dress with chain link and lace-up detailing, a wearable black sweater, and multicolor trousers banded at the ankles.
Volume made its presence felt with billowing open jackets, cascading long sleeves, and regal cape silhouettes in sumptuous shades.
Denim felt anything but basic, in the form of oversized tunics, skinny leggings layered under boldly-hued shorts, utilitarian backpacks, and a sultry shirt dress with sheer panels.
The aforementioned lace-up detailing accented suede and denim tunics.
We know that Kanye West will be sporting the collection’s beaded jackets over the next few months, though the dresses with the glittering accent will surely impress wife Kim Kardashian and her lot of Balmain-loving sisters.
Rousteing did what he does best: showy and snazzy clothing that sometimes parses in function and mostly injects lavishness. And when your friends are the biggest supermodels, celebrities, and tastemakers in the world, why look any further than them for inspiration? That’s who influenced this collection and we know that all of his friends and muses are already chomping at the bit to slip into these designs.
