80 Years of Balmain: Paris Pierre Balmain had a profound connection to Paris, a city that inspired much of his work. He often named his designs after the city itself or its iconic landmarks. Once these designs were brought to life, models were photographed against Paris’s most emblematic sites. He introduced the new French style and the “Jolie Madame” silhouette, featuring sculpted shoulders, nipped waists, and six buttons, which defined his signature. | Balmain

80 years of Balmain : The Balmain Jacket Since its debut in Pierre Balmain’s first collection in 1945, the tailored jacket has remained a signature piece. Inspired by the sharp structure and symbolism of the Breton sailor’s uniform, Balmain reinterpreted it with functional elegance, masculine in its authority, yet feminine in its silhouette. | Balmain

80 years of Balmain : Dresses Pierre Balmain defined the New French Style through cinched waists and strong shoulders. He dressed visionary women: from his courageous and stylish mother to intellectuals such as Gertrude Stein and Alice Toklas; from rule-breakers he dressed with confident elegance to queens and princesses navigating the balance between tradition and modernity. | Balmain
