BALMAIN SPRING-SUMMER 2023 RUNWAY
“This is a composition blending my European heritage and outlook with the beauty and traditions of Africa—reflecting today’s diverse and powerful new world, where rebirth and fresh possibilities are possible.” Olivier Rousteing
For his Spring-Summer 2023 runway presentation, @olivier_rousteing wanted to channel a moment of rebirth. Couture-inspired elements — draping, braiding, patchwork, weaving and master sculpting — highlight the expert craftsmanship that serves as a foundation for the Balmain Atelier, while references to the great thinkers of the Renaissance age and the rich traditions of Africa inspire a fashion reboot in line with the Creative Director’s innovative vision.
With over 8000 #BALMAINARMY members in attendance to watch the show during the #BALMAINFESTIVAL in support of @red, the designer also took this opportunity to launch a collective call to consciousness as it relates to sustainability and transparency in the industry. A large percentage of the runway’s designs is thus crafted in earth-friendly materials or raw, undyed fabrics. #BALMAINSS23
