Pierre Balmain founded his eponymous house as a Parisian couture address over 75 years ago—and every Balmain creation since Monsieur Balmain’s very first 1945 collection has been built upon the distinctive couture formula that pairs strict construction with the finest artisanal embellishment. Balmain Eyewear’s Brigitte makes the house’s impressive couture heritage even more clear. The frame’s unique structure— crafted from the finest featherweight Japanese titanium and dense and sleek Japanese acetate—was inspired by the classic cinematic image of a wind-whipped silk scarf worn inside an open cabriolet. The Akoni Group team’s skillful channeling of the fresh and liberating spirit that has long set apart the collections of both Pierre Balmain and Olivier Rousteing is also underlined by the iconic color combinations—each based on key Balmain’s tonal pairings.
