Balmain revolutionizes thanks to avant-garde fashion

Balmain was founded in 1945 by Pierre Balmain. From the outset, Monsieur Balmain’s boldly feminine and opulent style offered a startling contrast to the utilitarian looks of the day, creating a distinctive, super-feminine DNA for the house that emphasized richly embroidered fabrics, nipped-in waists and longer, often fuller skirts – quickly transforming the Parisian house into a favorite of both European and Hollywood royalty.
