Olivier Rousteing’s man for Balmain SS15 is a hybrid created with influences that vary from hip hop and biker styles to modern sportswear. Diverse yet highly wearable, the new line not only manages to stay true to Rousteing’s aesthetic vision for the iconic French label but also showcases brilliantly his talents as a menswear designer. Detailed beaded jackets, in an Aztec inspired pallet, skinny-fit trousers and oversized military coats, complete with embroided details, bring his interpretation of a contemporary armour to life. Peep-toe boots, reminiscent of roman sandals, also come into the mix, adding to the overall idea of clothing as protective gear. Overall the new offering gives away the scene of a man ready to take on the streets and conquer the city, a modern kind of a fashion warrior.
