Fierce footwear from Balmain has everyone talking.
With designs not for the faint of heart, Pierre Balmain and his shoes have been turning heads far longer than the last couple of years. Balmain first opened his fashion house in 1945. His sophisticated creations made him the go to designer for famous clients that included Brigitte Bardot and Ava Gardner.
Under the direction of current head designer Christophe Decarin, Balmain presented a stellar collection for Spring/Summer 09. The collection brought a resurgence in the brand’s popularity. Attention grabbing details such as over the top studding, fringe and frightfully high heels had everyone abuzz.
