Balmain - the new cruise collection

This year there is a new surge of Egyptomania - in November, it was the 100th anniversary of the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb.
For Balmain's art director Olivier Rousteing the Egyptian theme has a special meaning. Firstly he needs to consider that he is of Egyptian origin. Secondly, he recently suffered severe burns, as a result of which he had to wear bandages like a mummy.
All this is reflected in the new cruise collection of the fashion house. Everything here is clear and without unnecessary metaphors: jewelry and bags in the form of scarab beetles, decor in the form of a snake that bit Cleopatra, fantasies on the themes of the pyramids and the gold of the pharaohs. Well, and all sorts of "mummies" - very bold and stylish.
