Good morning! How are you doing? I caught wind of the news that Olivier Rousteing would be stepping down as Creative Director of Balmain and instantly felt a loss. His looks have been some of my favorite looks on the runways for the last few decades. He pushed the limits, reimagined silhouettes, gave garments structure and definition that hadn’t been seen before. I’m sure that his work will be influencing our culture and imagination for years to come. Farewell Olivier. And, well, we can’t wait to see what you do next.

Below are some of my favorite Balmain looks of recent years. What are yours?
