Balmain first men’s Pre-Fall collection2018 debuts with an over-the-top crystal-embroidered a bomber jacket for $40,000. The jacket is decorated with the Balmain Army slogan on the back. It is said to have taken two months to create, and so, in the sense of the painstaking execution, it could practically be couture.

According to the designer, Olivier Rousteing, the Men’s collection mirrors the core elements in all the Balmain Women’s collections.
