For our first L’Atelier Balmain episode, we explore the pre-Balmain histories of two of the 75-year-old house’s best-known designers: the founder Pierre Balmain and the current Creative Director, Olivier Rousteing. Although both men were originally “provincials,” as they moved forward on their distinct pathways to Balmain and the French capital, each converted himself into a true Parisian.
