Balmain is back at Paris Men's Fashion Week for fall 2024.

 

Once you’ve seen our Balmain Men Fall 2024 runway, you definitely won’t be surprised to hear that the mood board for this collection was very, very colorful. In particular, there were quite a few vibrant inspirations from those sapeurs who had pledged to keep true to the ten commandments of the Société des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Elégantes. Their distinctive looks, relying on an exuberant mix of tailored French silhouettes with colorful African patterns, is believed to have originated in Brazzaville during the 1960s, and it quickly became popular across the entire continent. Six decades later, the unique dandy stylings of modern sapeurs continue to command attention on the streets of Kinshasa, Paris and Harlem. Inspired by that positive vision of blending together the best of many cultures, for this latest Balmain Men’s offerings we’ve paired our atelier’s expertise in tailoring and craft with a host of influences from all across the world.

Welcome behind the scenes of the Balmain Fall 2024 Men's runway where Olivier Rousteing will be lifting the curtain on this season's creative process.
