Balmain's Autumn/Winter 2025 collection revisits Olivier Rousteing's tenure as creative director, reflecting on his 14-year journey marked by resilience, boldness and innovation. The Sync collection introduces a fresh aesthetic that pays homage to the brand's utilitarian codes from the 1950s and 1960s. These leather mules, in particular, are distinguished by a chunky gold-tone chain that anchors the strap to the vamp, turning function into a statement.
