Balmain

The Balmain 2024 autumn/winter collection show is the first time Olivier Rousteing has dedicated an entire collection to his childhood hometown of Bordeaux in his 13 years at Balmain. #autumnfashion #fashion #2024 #winterfashion #bordeaux #grape #snail #fashiontrends #fashionstyle
Its most famous product-wine-is manifested throughout the collection in Dionysian abundance: they are embedded in glass, embroidered on tops, and woven into the patterns of brocade satin dresses or long dresses.
The shell of the "Bordeaux snail" with its brittle and twisted spiral lines is shaped into golden breastplate fossils, made into earrings, or used to adorn buckles for belts and handbags... These touching details reflect the core of this collection-nostalgia for family, and the diversity in casting age cannot be ignored, which may be related to Rousteing's childhood.
But he also emphasizes that this is not just a memoir: "You know, it's really nice to see these incredible fashion shows all over the world, but with the same models. Sometimes I feel like models are all the same, we need to be careful because we are praising the beauty of diversity".
