BALMAIN

BRETON-STRIPE COTTON-JERSEY HOODY

Playing on the confusion of being mistaken for American, French designer Olivier Rousteing used the opportunity of Balmain’s SS18 show to play on patriotism. As Gallic as escargot, marinière stripes are the trope adopted to pattern the torso of this cotton jersey hoody. An equally unequivocal logo, underlined with ‘Paris’, shores up the cultural references for this casual style, without erring into costume territory.Balmain cotton jersey hoodyPulls onHood with draw string, long sleeves, branded pattern print at front, stripe pattern at front and back 100% cottonMachine washModel is 6ft and wears a size medium

about BALMAIN

view all

Balmain (French: [balmɛ̃]) is a haute couture fashion house that was founded by Pierre Balmain. Balmain was born in 1914 in France. His father owned a drapery business and his mother and sister owned a fashion boutique where he often worked after his father’s death in 1921. He always had a love of fashion and an eye for design. He attended the École des Beaux-Arts in 1933-1934 with intent to study architecture but instead ended up spending the majority of his time designing dresses. After working for atelier Robert Piquet as a freelance artist and spending time with Edward Molyneux, he left school to work for Molyneux. In the late 1930s, he served in the French air force and the army pioneer corps. After peace was declared, he worked at Lucien Lelong and opened his own fashion house under his name. He released his first collection in 1945 and his first fragrance in 1949. While at Lelong, he met Christian Dior, a designer who would play a huge role in Balmain’s career and the postwar fashion industry in general.
