BALMAIN COUTURE Closing his last runway with larger-than-life creations, @olivier_rousteing aimed to highlight French couture tradition while driving it forward with innovative, new techniques and vision. Styled by @stockdale.charlotte and @katielyall with @lisetteappeldorn’s futuristic masks, this message of ever-evolving elegance becomes evermore poignant. The artist handcrafts each mask out of ordinary objects, unearthing transformative beauty with the characters she creates.
