BALMAIN PARIS

A singular union of Parisian couture heritage and 21st-century daring. Always remaining true to its core values of inclusion, empowerment and excellence.

A SINGULAR HISTORY OF MORE THAN 75 YEARS

Balmain was founded in 1945 by Pierre Balmain. From the outset, Monsieur Balmain’s boldly feminine and opulent signature style offered a starting contrast to the utilitarian looks of the day, creating a distinctive, super-feminine DNA and quickly transforming the Parisian house into a favorite of both European and Hollywood royalty.

Today’s Balmain melds the rich legacy of a historic Parisian couture house with Pierre Balmain’s singular optimism and the modern and inclusive vision of Olivier Rousteing, the house’s Creative Director since 2011. Balmain is intent on forging fashion’s future in a uniquely authentic manner.

Season after season, the fashion shows celebrate the culture of the 21st century, reflecting the lifestyle of the „Balmain Army“ and the way that today’s women and men wish to dress.

BALMAIN HAIR

Over 50 years ago, Pierre Balmain wanted to complete his looks with wigs and started working with a young talented wig maker, Dick Guliker, who founded Balmain Hair in 1974. Thus, a unique cooperation was born that is still until today creating hair couture for stylists and consumers all around the world.

Balmain Hair is in the first place a true professional brand. As part of the heritage as a famous Paris based fashion house, many fashion designers internationally like to work with the Balmain Hair collection in order to present the hairstyling of their models in the most beautiful and fashionable way.
