Balmain

Dec 2024

The Balmain Pre-Fall 2025 lookbook presents a rigorous study in tailoring and architectural composition. Creative director and stylist Olivier Rousteing leans into a sharp, monochromatic aesthetic, defined by structured silhouettes, military-inspired outerwear, and ornate metallic detailing. The collection is anchored by a consistent editorial language that emphasises strong lines and texture. Photographer Zoe Natale Mannella captures the collection within a minimalist studio environment, utilising classical paneling, draped curtains, and dramatic architectural archways as a backdrop. The work is refined through a clean, vertical format, with lighting techniques that emphasise the tactile contrast between leather, wool, and velvet garments. With beauty direction by hair stylist Yumiko Hikage and makeup artist Marieke Thibaut, the presentation maintains a polished, cohesive atmosphere across the entire lookbook.
