B MUSE BPS 151-A 55

When Olivier Rousteing designs dazzling red-carpet gowns and concert-tour ensembles for today’s biggest global superstars, he’s building directly upon a celebrated heritage. Pierre Balmain also dressed the most important singers, actors and celebrities of his day. And for those two designers and their impressive list of muses, the energy has clearly flowed in both directions, with many of the house’s pioneering collections directly influenced by the talent, power and beauty of the modern age’s most celebrated legends. Balmain’s long association with inspiring legends is channeled into the new B-Muse sculpted Japanese acetate frame. Its subtle cat-eye silhouette reflects the sensual, feminine and alluring spirit of the powerful goddesses who have shaped both Balmain and all areas of modern culture. Signature house golden embellishments adorn the front frame and its solid floating hinges, while gilded emblems— the modern Balmain monogram and logo—are set at both ends of the temple.
