Balmain Fall 2024 women's Collection
The Balmain Fall 2024 Women’s Collection, presented by Olivier Rousteing, was a tribute to his hometown of Bordeaux. The collection was a blend of bucolic chic, featuring trench coats and vichy prints that evoked pleasant memories. The runway showcased an array of prints, embroideries, and 3D creations, with a notable emphasis on bunches of grapes, symbolizing Bordeaux’s renowned wine industry.
Rousteing’s designs diverged from the traditional fruit motifs of Monsieur Balmain, instead celebrating the grape as a nod to his personal history. The collection was a mix of Rousteing’s signature exuberance and French culture, with unexpected details like grape prints, gingham checks, and golden snail shell embellishments. The show opened with a diverse cast of models, defying age expectations and embodying Rousteing’s message of inclusivity1234.
