Little Book of Balmain

"Good fashion is evolution, not revolution" – Pierre Balmain

One of the original big Parisian couture houses, alongside the likes of Dior
and Chanel, Pierre Balmain reigned supreme over the 1950s fashion world with
his spectacular and intricate evening wear.

Now, in the twenty-first century, Balmain's ultra-modern look – still with the
spirit of Pierre – is worn by the likes of Beyoncé, Kristen Stewart, Kate Moss
and Kendall Jenner. Heavily embellished, dazzling detail meets futuristic
silhouettes for an instantly recognisable look.

Known for their strong social media presence driven by their "Balmain army" of
fans, Balmain holds a unique position among the top couture houses today.
