Balmain Creative Director Olivier Rousteing once again used culture as a language and chose to host a brand dinner in SoHo, New York, inviting first-line style indicators to explain the narrative direction of contemporary luxury goods in a low-key but profound manner.
The decoration of Monsieur Restaurant combines Gothic splendor with modern charm, creating an atmosphere that is both mysterious and luxurious. Under the illumination of crystal chandeliers and flickering candlelight, guests communicated and celebrated in this artistic space. Olivier Rousteing said at the dinner that this was a reunion of old friends and new acquaintances, symbolizing his support and companionship in his creative journey.
The guest list of the dinner was star-studded, including model Helena Christensen, actress Leslie Bibb, movie star Brooke Shields, socialite Ivy Getty and model Aweng Chuol. They wore Balmain's latest collection, showing the brand's consistent exquisite tailoring and modern sense. Among them, the photo of Helena Christensen and Derek Blasberg became one of the classic moments of the night.
Ivy Getty wore a Balmain signature-style close-fitting ribbed dress in a soft matte pink color that highlighted her skin's radiance and feminine lines. The vertical wrinkle design emphasized the curve proportions, and the minimalist spaghetti strap design showed her elegant clavicle. She carried a Balmain metal leather buckle pleated bag , which used exaggerated metal fasteners as a visual focus, echoing the brand's obsession with structure and contour. She wore a pair of cross-strap high-heeled sandals, continuing the sexy language of softness and strength.

Men wore all-black Balmain slim-fit double-breasted suits with satin lapels and classic square shoulders. The overall look was neat and upright, demonstrating the modern gentleman's grasp of elegance and cool fashion.
This pair of outfits is not only the best tribute to Olivier Rousteing's design vocabulary, but also a perfect interpretation of Balmain's fashion spirit of sophistication and rebellion.

For MINOSHIN, the significance of this dinner is not only the exposure of the brand, but also about "how to make style and memory coexist". Balmain has always emphasized the tension between structure and material in design, and when we repair and maintain, we are committed to continuing this sense of architecture and clothing vocabulary, so that each piece can retain its original spirit.
As Rousteing said, "I want to create not only fashion, but stories and connections." This is also the core of MINOSHIN's recognition - fashion is not just a choice of style at the moment, but also the flow of culture and the carrier of personal memory. What we do is to make these stories not be worn out by time, but continue to shine.
From Paris to New York, from the catwalk to real life, Balmain is reconstructing the new relationship between luxury brands and culture. And MINOSHIN will continue this connection in details and craftsmanship.
