AN OPENING MESSAGE
BALMAIN FALL 2022
Once again, Olivier Rousteing turned to one of his favorite Parisian choreographers, Jean-Charles Jousni, to complement his collection’s message.

Jean-Charles Jousni, inspired by Rousteing’s honesty, Saint-Exupéry’s truths and the shocking reality of war returning to Europe, constructed a moving message centered on the power of unity and love, closing with a final, memorable moment centered on the beautiful possibilities of peace.

Both Jousni and Rousteing underlined the collection's very relevant message: united in solidarity, we must rely on the power of hope and truth to push back against hate, lies and aggression.
