Olivier Rousteing is the new designer Balmain

Finally we discover the name of the new designers who takes the place of Christophe Decarnin, who abandoned Balmain, after it relaunched, redesigned after the style, that punk-rock chic that its success since 2007. The rudder is a Rousteing Olivier, a French designer, formerly part of the team. La Maison is not expected to undergo upheavals, as the young designer was the right arm of Decarnin and certainly some Rousteing is now already in the Balmain collection.
