Balmain | Spring 2017 Ready-to-Wear

(downtempto, peaceful music)

[Olivier] I would say that is a private garden I open.

It s something that is really personal and that collection

is something that is really emotional for me.

The topic is just I feel like more peaceful.

I just feel really, really happy and a lot of peace.

A lot of serenity. That s my feeling right now.

[Kim] I thought it was very powerful.

I love chainmail. And I love the sequins.

I saw the fitting yesterday.

It was so amazing to see everything

just in 24 hours really come to life.

[Jon] I enjoy it a lot. I think it s the most wonderful

show I ve seen in awhile. It s a tribute to femininity.

And I think Olivier does that in a unique way.

He s genius.

[Giancarlo] Valentino and myself, we just believe

in a designer with a strong identity.

You know, not afraid to impose their own style

that made this house, which was very famous but very small.

Really an important voice in fashion.

He s an enormous talent.

[Olivier] I think it was a real challenge for me

as a designer to prove myself that I can do something else,

to go beyond what people think about me

and what I think as well about me sometimes.
