ADMIRABLE

Riffing on the distinctive power and grace of the impressive shoulders that help to set apart Olivier Rousteing’s perfectly tailored jackets on the catwalk, Balmain Eyewear’s Admirable pairs powerful Japanese titanium rims with a dynamic, wing-like extruding acetate frame, in order to create a new, yet easily recognized, silhouette that perfectly channels the bold movement and audacious geometry of the finest Balmain tailoring. Continuing the runway theme, the Admirable color combinations look to some of Rousteing’s favorite tonal combinations. There’s the iconic Balmain black-and-gold pairing, of course. A crystal-and-gold mix highlights the impressive savoir-faire behind the frame construction and a chic bone option replicates the house’s many plays on the striking gold-and-white interiors of Versailles interiors.
