While in school, Pierre Balmain spent most of his time designing lavish dresses, which were the designer’s staple pieces since the brand’s establishment. Balmain’s time in the French army and air force in the 1930s influenced the early style of his designs and his work was essential when revolutionizing French fashion in the post-war era. Dating back to 1945, Balmain has become known for its luxurious, opulent evening wear, worn by countless celebrities. Today, the French fashion house has become more than just evening wear couture, with edgy collections of men's Balmain hoodies, denim, t-shirt and more streetwear essentials. With Balmain’s evolving fashion-forward styles, the brand’s focus has shifted to include ultra-popular men's Balmain hoodies and more streetwear styles.
For some historical context, Oscar de la Renta joined Balmain in 1993 as Creative Director after Pierre Balmain’s death in 1981. Ten year later, Christopher Decarnin took over the label and with his love of flashy clothes, completely overhauled the traditional Balmain style. Oliver Rousteing joined the Balmain team in 2009 and can be credited with modernising the label. Currently, Balmain has grown to be an iconic brand name with thousands of items ranging from Balmain
