How to Join the #BalmainArmy on a Budget
Few luxury labels inspire the kind of cultish devotion as the house of Balmain. The clothes — and the label’s wunderkind designer Olivier Rousteing — are a favorite of It-girls from Kendall Jenner to Rihanna (not to mention It-guy Kanye West). And when the H&M x Balmain collaboration dropped last September, cool kids were literally scrapping in the aisles for the last military-sexy blazer and bodycon dress.
So, what’s a Balmain fan to do now that that collab is either sold out, or fetching outrageous prices on eBay? Never fear — our guide to getting the Balmain look for less is here. Don’t worry about offending the designer behind the real thing, either — Rousteing has famously stated that he doesn’t mind the knock-offs, and in fact considers Zara’s interpretation of his designs “genius.” When you’re commander of the loyal #BalmainArmy, you can afford that kind of confidence.
