The Collection - “Balmain - it is the evening, the princess dresses of the 50’s, glamour, and the perfume Ivoire” Christophe Decarnin the designer in charge sums it up brilliantly. The house was founded in 1945 by Pierre Balmain. The sharp creations, with sophistication and a bit of extra audacity quickly became one of three prominent brands of the era, along with Dior and Balenciaga. From 1955 to 1962 a certain Karl Lagerfeld worked as an assistant.
