Balmain dresses - a silhouette that has survived decades

Pierre Balmain has founded his own atelier at about the same time as his friend Christian Dior, with whom they took lessons from one of the most prominent haute couture tailors, Lucien Lelong. In the last year of the Second World War, Balmain opened a fashion house signed with his name and, like Dior and Cristobal Balenciaga, he began to gather around him clients looking for a pre-war glitz, beautiful materials and innovative designs. One of the latter was a brand new line showing the waist, which first appeared in the Jolie Madame, Pierre Balmain's collection, and then in 1947 Dior ensured its success by designing the revolutionary New Look collection. 

Balmain dresses sewn from the best materials and designed in a masterful way were a decoration for the new, filigree silhouette. Underlined waistline, hourglass shapes exposing the hips and a wider line of arms - this is the postwar revolution in fashion, which is still considered to be the ideal of feminine shape. In the current collections created by young designer Olivier Rousteing, Balmain's dresses refer in an obvious way to the famous line initiated by Pierre Balmain. The hourglass silhouette, with the underlined shoulders’ line, is the most recognisable cut of this French fashion house. In the contemporary version, however, Balmain dresses are finished in a more extravagant way, giving individual projects a sexy and very modern character.
