Balmain Velvet Structured Tuxedo Jacket

Balmain’s Autumn/Winter 2023 collection felt like a refreshing design reset, putting theatricality to one side in favour of a vintage vision inspired by Pierre Balmain’s generational rulebook. Fashion insiders will all agree this velvety tuxedo jacket was the crowning jewel of the historical collection, boasting a structured silhouette with overproportioned details that nod to his 1945 dream of ‘new French fashion’.
