Balmain collection is pushing the boundaries, combining trends with a unique twist.
Oliver Rousteing was the creative mastermind behind the Balmain Spring 2025 resort collection. His vision was to combine modern luxury and streetwear, and by embracing both styles, he created a unique maximalist collection.
Interviewed by Nathan Heller, Oliver Rousteing says “For me, it’s been very important to use clothes to talk about subjects such as diversity and ‘pop’—pop culture, population.” He was able to express himself by focusing on the details of the garments. He had exaggerated bags crafted from leather. His suits were printed with scribbles of his signature all over, ranging from huge gold to being printed all over the jackets in black ink.
Oliver experimented with the volume of the suites, creating pointed tall shoulder pads. Giving that powerful bold look. The collection ranged from cropped leather blazers to suits with tall, pointed shoulders. It was a monochromatic collection full of life, the collection was experimented head to toe, with boxy leather boots and oversized draped pants. Oliver was able to create an elegant collection combined with a daring attitude.
