Introducing Pierre Balmain

Over the last few years, the fashion world has embraced Balmain in a whole new way, buzzing over each collection and lusting after the bedazzled rock and roll-inspired pieces. Unfortunately, for many of us, Balmain is unattainable, price-wise, which is why the launch of the brand’s new diffusion line—Pierre Balmain—is so exciting. Unveiled yesterday, Pierre Balmain features plenty of the rock and roll cool that we have come to know and love from the French fashion house, but with a heavy dose of the low-key, sporty-chic vibe that Parisians are known for. A motorcycle jacket here, a zippered jean there—these are pieces you are guaranteed to see on insiders like Emmanuelle Alt and Geraldine Saglio.
