The number 44 on rue François in Paris was where a young Pierre Balmain first set up shop when he founded his namesake label in 1945. In the 7 decades that have passed, Balmain has gone through many transformations. The label was the first to hire Karl Lagerfeld after he won a German design competition in […]

Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing is teaming up with L’Oréal Paris to create a collection of lipsticks set to launch Sept. 20 (just before Paris Fashion Week, where L’Oréal Paris is one of the major sponsors). “L’Oréal Paris and Balmain share the same strong vision of […]

It seems the universe/Twitterverse got the memo on Tuesday evening that the Naked Dress ain’t O-V-E-R, when Kylie Jenner stepped out at Marie Claire’s 2nd Annual Image Makers Awards wearing a purple shredded Balmain gown with major thigh cut-outs. The (almost) booty-baring look from the French luxury label’s 2017 resort collection creates the illusion of […]

Dressing the Kardashians in ultra-sexy evening pieces was not enough for Balmain Creative Director Olivier Rousteing. Now he wants K-crew, and just about everyone else, to rejoice in the Parisian house’s relaunched accessories collection. Come June, a new generation of fans will be introduced to bags and shoes from a brand that’s known for paper-thin […]

It’s safe to assume that at some point in our lives we will butcher the pronunciation of a name to the point of no return (I’ve done it before, and often have my own name mispronounced, which results in major LOLs and sometimes SMHs). Now that fashion month has wrapped up, we’ve put together a primer […]

As someone who suffers from critical bouts of FOMO, I can imagine that the following may be hard to read for some: The Backstreet Boys performed at a fashion event. Dreams come true? For me, obviously yes. For Kendall, Gigi, Karlie and Kylie? Yes, yes, yes (and yasss). At last night’s blowout launch event for […]

If you, like me, spent the weekend soaking up the sun while glued to your phone in anticipation of #KimyeWedding details, you are not alone. You are also not creepy, but hey, maybe you are. In the span of three days, I followed every Kardashian offspring, learned that Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing has found a new bestie in Kardasian makeup artist Joyce Bonelli and most importantly, that all photos of the actual wedding are sure to be locked up in a future issue of People Magazine. Frustration, thy name is single paparazzi shot, fractured hashtags and Jay-Z/Beyoncé no-show.

Queen Bey had her week, it’s Rihanna’s time to shine. So seems to say the Balmain Spring 2014 ad campaign released this morning starring none other than the icon herself. The ads feature the 25-year-old singer in two looks from the label’s latest collection: an off the shoulder gold embellished denim top and high-waisted jeans and a bubble gum pink kimono worn with the sure-to-be-sellouts gold tipped lace booties. Photographed by Inez and Vinoodh and styled by Mel Ottenberg, it’s just the latest in a long line of Rihanna iterations to be renewed the next moment she chooses to step out.

“When the woman that inspires you wears your creations, your vision feels complete,” Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing tells WWD. High praise, sure, but wouldn’t all of us agree? With her one album a year, ten outfits a day streak, RiRi is undoubtedly the girl of this generation’s dreams.
