Balmain Show: Paris Fashion Week
Olivier Rousteing, the head designer for Balmain, is nothing less than a fashion icon that will go down in runway history. Founded in Paris in 1945, Balmain is one of the most elite and well-known fashion labels in the world, and absolutely slays the international Fashion Week game. The brand’s top competitors including Louis Vuitton, Dior and Chanel (to name a few) all come together every year for the much-anticipated event, Paris Fashion Week, to showcase off the current year’s most incredible fashion lines.
In 2016, Paris Fashion Week was absolutely killer- to say the least. Rousteing designed some jaw-dropping pieces for the Balmain show, which were showcased by the world’s most stunning models as they strutted down an enormous catwalk. Pictured here, Alessandra Ambrosio hit the runway during the Balmain show, wearing pieces from the designer’s Autumn Winter collection for 2016.
