Olivier Rousteing’s Balmain: Melding Heritage And Innovation. | SXSW 2024

Portuguese and Spanish language translations for SXSW 2024 Keynotes and Featured Sessions presented by Itaú
During his thirteen years of overseeing the collections at the historic house of Balmain, Rousteing has been carefully building upon the legacy of the house’s founder, Pierre Balmain, who famously introduced a fresh, feminine and surprising “New French Style” that helped to revolutionize post-war couture. Beginning with inspirations directly pulled from the house’s rich archives and fully utilizing the Balmain atelier’s impressive mastery of intricate traditional couture techniques, Rousteing has been able to skillfully graft his own distinctive style upon the historic house. He is, in fact, creating a modern and inclusive new New French Style-one which melds together an immediately recognizable singular silhouette, a contemporary outlook reflecting Rousteing’s own extraordinary personal journey and a spirit pulled directly from the avenues and boulevards of a transformed-yet-eternal Paris, the dynamic and diverse fashion capital that has influenced every Balmain collection for over 75 years.

Great Olivier....❤

[@PatriciaStevens-rv6kn]

This beautiful, precious man is an absolute treasure! I love seeing his designs, his various shows, his own evolution …I could sit at his feet and listen to him forever - so much love, so much wisdom, so much authenticity and humility! 🙌🏻🙌🏻💫✨🥂💝

[@krismclarnon726]

Well done Olivier ❤ I wish I could afford Balmain. Really enjoy listening to you

[@khismet]

This man is so intriguing and beautiful to me ❤ love his French style and accent 😊

[@barneslx]

This man is awesome! Wishing him all the best.

I notice the host ignored his comment about race and quickly pivoted to tech. This is what black successful people have to deal with.

[@BettysCloset]

Of course you know white folk don't want to hear about white privilege

[@yesdraka]

yep

[@meggo524]

What’s the time stamp

[@SerrettiL.]

stupid comment. he was raised and adopted by all white people. His black parents left him. Your comment is stupid and even racist. If a white person said what you said it would sound racist and it also sounds racist when you do it. Moreover, your comment is not accurate. Hewas helped by white people to get where he is. The man was lucky. At least be factual when you try to be racist.

[@brvndxxxn]

I know. He even said no one wanted to talk about it, I guess she doesn’t still.

[@Real-nj4tl]

Awesome interview of inspiring words of wisdom. Thank you so much for sharing your insights and story. ❤❤❤. Will be following you on Instagram. 🎊 🎉thank you ❤

[@pjae1076]

Please learn to have more emotionally intelligent interviewers with people of such caliber who happen to be people of color. Or anyone for that matter who create and speak from such a meaningful and in depth place.

[@quepena4879]

The way the host ignored the racial questions - maybe get COMPETENT interviewers so they don’t do brashly pivot to uninteresting questions to save themselves from delving into what a man of color must deal with and referencing legendary VIRGIL. It’s so tiring

❤

[@hotmochaflava]

So very PROUD of what my Black Family is contributing to The World 🌍 PERIOD!!! ❤

[@SerrettiL.]

stupid comment. he was raised and adopted by all white people. His black parents left him. Your comment is stupid and even racist. If a white person said what you said it would sound racist and it also sounds racist when you do it. Moreover, your comment is not accurate. He does not know black family since his black family left him as a child.

[@larakathryn2955]

I'm sorry but did no one advise him for the wig??

[@kennb7242]

Olivier's hairstyle, makeup and clothing choices etc. are a result of the publicized accident at his home where he was severely burned. He is covering the scars!

[@marcelplavec6453]

38 is not BABY

[@SerrettiL.]

exactly !!

[@annaleshchenko9758]

Did she call him 🐔?

[@Kaiyen9]

The worst host I've seen on such a long time

[@fedeg3824]
