Olivier Rousteing, the creative director of Balmain, has announced his departure from the iconic French fashion house after 14 years at the helm. During his tenure, the brand gained legendary muses—including Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé—and entered a new era of high-profile collaborations.

Rousteing, who became the youngest creative director in Paris since Yves Saint Laurent and the first Black designer to lead all divisions of the French brand, reflected on his legacy in an interview with Vogue:

"I am proud of everything we achieved and endlessly grateful to my incredible team at Balmain—my chosen family, in a place that has been my home for the past 14 years. Thank you to Mr. Rashid Mohamed Rashid and Matteo Sgarbossa for believing in me and giving me this unique opportunity. I will always hold this time close to my heart."

Before taking the reins at Balmain, Rousteing studied at the École Supérieure des Arts et Techniques de la Mode in Paris and worked at Roberto Cavalli, overseeing the women’s line. He honed his talents under the mentorship of Balmain’s previous creative director, Christophe Decarnin.

In 2011, at just 24 years old, Rousteing was appointed creative director. Under his leadership, Balmain experienced a renaissance: in addition to high-profile muses like Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé, the brand achieved global success with viral collaborations, including the 2015 H&M capsule collection. Rousteing’s final show, held in October 2025, marked the house’s 80th anniversary.

With Rousteing’s departure, Balmain closes one of the most notable chapters in its modern history—forever linked with global stars and revolutionary fashion shows.
