I want to make a special occasion to talk about Balmain, I'm so much in love with this french designer. The founder of this brand was Pierre Alexandre Claudius Balmain, he began studying architecture at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris in 1933, but by the following year left school to start in the workshop fashions Molyneux, where he was held until 1939. He then spent two years at Lucien Lelong, where he met Dior .
He presented his first collection in 1945 in Paris characterized by flared skirts long and narrow waist, and poet Gertrude Stein, who was among the public, wrote in Vogue Balmain designs constitute "the new French look".
In 1951 opens a subsidiary of its signature in New York and in that decade becomes fashionable stole for day and night, and their shawls and capes Cossack style trendsetters. Known for its sophistication and elegance, is the creator Jolie Madame style. It is considered one of the great myths of the twentieth century fashion house established itself as one of the most important haute couture in the postwar era. It was the favorite of stars like Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren and Marlene Dietrich.
