In a departure from seasons prior, Olivier Rousteing signals a new era for Balmain, swapping the house's signature sharp tailoring for a newfound softness. The focus shifts to slouchy silhouettes, chunky rib-knits, and oversized outerwear, as billowing batwing sleeves and cozy hoods replace the structured shoulder pads of the past. Crafted in a textured knit with a croc-effect pattern, this maxi dress from Balmain features a sophisticated mock turtleneck and a striking open back accented with signature buttons at the nape of the neck.
