Inside Balmain Designer Olivier Rousteing’s Home Filled With Wonderful Objects | Vogue

Designer Olivier Rousteing opens up the doors of his Parisian apartment. By his own admission, Olivier has an obsession with black and gold-just look at his collections for Balmain, the storied Parisian fashion house he’s helmed since 2011. So is it any surprise that, when Vogue asked the designer to name his favorite things in his Paris home for the latest episode of “Objects of Affection,” most of them abided by that very color scheme?

I don’t know if people realize the magnitude of this place considering it’s in Paris??? This is insane

[@jiblrilmarlowe6471]

Big fact probably in 100s of millions in Paris . Yo even find a space like that and create what he did ! Genius

[@museenergy]

It's unbelievable!!!

[@marian.p]

En effet, on est loin des mini logement, 2 - 3 pièces...

This statement is so true, parents are about love not biology. Some parents shouldn't be parents.

So true...parents are about love...and i would say : children too...🕯️❤️🙋🏻

[@LuxuryHouseTV]

Agreed.

[@user-el3zm7hm6b]

Agree and clearly they raised him well , such a lovely guy

[@spiritualcosmeticss]

Someone put a fashion legend up for adoption. “Family is about love not blood”.

[@sugga2365]

Biological mom was only 14, and we don’t know or need to know the details.

[@spiritualcosmeticss]

@@sugga2365 yes I heard that. a similar situation happened to my grandma. My dad never knew his biological dad. But my grand dad adopted my dad and raised him as his own. And my grand dad was my love not blood family member.

[@Kwesi-Nimako]

And the adoption probably saved him, we will never know. He’s an icon and that’s all that matters

[@sugga2365]

[@callyodmedia2]

I would've regretted putting him up for adoption, I could've been living like a queen!

[@adanzesmith9358]

The incorporation of plant life really makes the whole space feel connected for me. It looks so purifying and peaceful, definitely one of the best houses I've seen in a while.

Absolutely

[@imaneelatia9321]

He is ! On of my best friend’s have met him, he is the sweetest and very humble

[@yelabombshell]

Let's face it, he brought the Balmain fashion house back to life. Years ago, most people didn't know about Pierre Balmain until he stepped in as creative director. His house is just so beautiful!

When you get a chance watch the Documentary, Biography called "Wonder Boy"

[@avionnemcclatchie5166]

One of the best homes you've featured yet. Remarkable that this is Paris! It's so serene & tropical. I love the bamboo wall & the custom wooden kitchen table. Olivier's humble yet imaginative personality is so apparent in this space.

[@drissbahraoui5417]

In subtitles they used: South France/American instead of South France/Moroccan which he said.

[@shannond5598]

He has such a lovely personality! I love his space. It’s very unique which is so refreshing. He has his signature on it all! Love it!

[@taline8217]

I just want to take him in my arms to give him a maternal hug and tell him that he has a beautiful inner richness that he carries around him...

[@woudgy]

All children deserve unconditional love. I'm so happy for him that he was adopted out of the system by people who encouraged him, and happy for the rest of us who get to see his beautiful designs.

[@clairechloe5294]

👍👍👍👍👍Well said. 🙏🙏🙏

Funny comment considering you don't even know about balmains ad campaign proving satanic child exploitative elements.

Omg if I closed my eyes and listened to his voice and him describing his house it looks exactly how I would picture it. So cozy and peaceful!! Just so soft spoken and so humble.
