                                <p>Beauty and fashion are close bedfellows. But in 2024, this relationship got even cosier, with a litany of turbocharged crossovers between the two disciplines.</p><p>The year began with Pat McGrath’s viral porcelain doll make-up for John Galliano’s tenure-defining <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/fashion-beauty/best-of-haute-couture-week-ss-2024-reviews" target="_blank">Maison Margiela Artisanal S/S 2024 show</a>. Later, during <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/fashion-beauty/ss-2025-trends-takeaways" target="_blank">September’s S/S 2025 show season</a>, Olivier Rousteing welcomed the much-anticipated Balmain Beauty. (As well as releasing a line of perfumes called ‘<a href="https://www.balmainbeauty.com/les-eternels" target="_blank">Les Éternels</a>’, the Balmain runway collection included clothes and accessories directly referencing the fragrance bottles, alongside yet-to-be-released products such as lipsticks and eyeshadows).</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1080px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:125.00%;"><img id="dCE5ptD3JJrm2WXMVpdiJ9" name="Beauty x Fashion Moments 2024" alt="Pat McGrath's make-up at Maison Margiela Artisanal" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/dCE5ptD3JJrm2WXMVpdiJ9.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1080" height="1350" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Maison Margiela Artisanal S/S 2024 </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Courtesy of Maison Margiela and Pat McGrath)</span></figcaption></figure><p>In October, <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/fashion-beauty/hedi-slimane-ever-anderson-celine-lipstick" target="_blank">Celine debuted its first-ever beauty line</a>, with a red lipstick called ‘Rouge Celine’, designed by Hedi Slimane. (Slimane <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/fashion-beauty/breaking-news-hedi-slimane-to-exit-celine" target="_blank">announced his departure from the house soon after</a>). During the same month, Matthieu Blazy unveiled a collection of <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/tag/bottega-veneta" target="_blank">Bottega Veneta </a>fragrances in Murano glass bottles. Last week (12 December 2024) it was revealed that Blazy would be stepping down from Bottega Veneta and <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/fashion-beauty/matthieu-blazy-is-chanels-new-creative-director" target="_blank">into the role of creative director at Chanel</a>. The day before that, news broke that John Galliano would be exiting Maison Margiela. </p><p>If one is to believe fashion’s rumour mill, there are more major changes yet to come in the new year. But if the past 12 months have taught us anything, beauty is going to be a huge part of whatever these changes may be. Here, Wallpaper* takes a closer look at a selection of key fashion-meets-beauty moments, which set the tone for 2025 and beyond.</p><h2 id="how-2024-brought-beauty-and-fashion-closer-than-ever-before">How 2024 brought beauty and fashion closer than ever before</h2><h2 id="beauty-on-the-runway-from-maison-margiela-to-marc-jacobs">Beauty on the runway, from Maison Margiela to Marc Jacobs</h2><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1600px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:150.00%;"><img id="wobEDCvyqabMmvwZymYBY8" name="Marc Jacobs Pat McGrath" alt="Marc Jacobs and Pat McGrath lipstick" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/wobEDCvyqabMmvwZymYBY8.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1600" height="2400" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text"> Marc Jacobs x Pat McGrath Labs <a href="https://www.patmcgrath.com/products/mattetrance-lipstick-marc-jacobs-edition" target="_blank">limited edition ‘MatteTrance’ lipstick</a> </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Courtesy of Marc Jacobs and Pat McGrath Labs)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Even if you still haven’t seen the videos of Maison Margiela Artisanal S/S 2024, where John Galliano’s cast of models (including the likes of Gwendoline Christie) staggered beneath the arches of the Pont Alexandre III in Paris, dressed as dolls plucked straight from Émile Zola’s demi-monde, you’ll have seen the make-up.  Or, perhaps the endless reproductions of it across Instagram and TikTok at least.  After all, almost immediately after the Pat McGrath-created look appeared on the runway, the internet was ablaze with beauty creators trying to decode the secret formula to the waxen, porcelain skin.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1080px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:125.00%;"><img id="bpDJmViEV8ErowRpFA5UpR" name="Marc Jacobs S/S 2024" alt="A model at Marc Jacobs S/S 2024" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/bpDJmViEV8ErowRpFA5UpR.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1080" height="1350" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Marc Jacobs S/S 2024, with hair by Duffy and make-up by Diane Kendal </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Courtesy of Marc Jacobs)</span></figcaption></figure><p>The hubbub around the look reached such a fever pitch that McGrath eventually weighed in herself, sharing the lengthy list of products – including a dizzy combination of peeling masques layered and dried directly on the skin with a hairdryer – that it took to achieve. (Ever the savvy entrepreneur, though, Dame Pat also revealed that her empire-scale beauty business, Pat McGrath Labs, is in the process of developing an all-in-one product for fans eager to get the look).</p><p>If there’s another fashion figure who won big in the beauty stakes this year, it would have to be Marc Jacobs, who collaborated with McGrath on a <a href="https://www.patmcgrath.com/products/mattetrance-lipstick-marc-jacobs-edition" target="_blank">limited edition ‘MatteTrance’ lipstick</a> to mark the 40th anniversary of the American design’s namesake brand.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1080px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:124.81%;"><img id="RcUAc44waVfNvmxEfBxTJ9" name="Beauty x Fashion Moments 2024" alt="Marc Jacobs eyelid covers" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/RcUAc44waVfNvmxEfBxTJ9.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1080" height="1348" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Marc Jacobs A/W 2024 eyelid covers created in collaboration with make-up artist Diane Kendal </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C9GSRrASFIS/?hl=en&img_index=3" target="_blank">@marcjacobs</a>)</span></figcaption></figure><p>On the runway, however, it was the S/S 2024 40th anniversary Marc Jacobs show, held in March, which saw the likes of Alex Consani and Kaia Gerber transformed into living dolls (a key theme this year, it would seem). </p><p>Strutting out from beneath large-scale Robert Therrien sculptures, their clumped eye make-up by <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/fashion-beauty/rabanne-beauty-wet-look-lipsticks-are-radically-glossy" target="_blank">Diane Kendal </a>was offset with hectic 1960s-esque bouffants from Duffy. The label’s second show of the year for A/W 2024, which took place in July, pushed the all-pervasive doll theme yet further, with models sporting cartoonish overblown pastel eyelid covers, sewn from fabrics and trimmed with spidery faux lashes. </p><h2 id="beauty-inspired-collections-from-balmain-to-abra">Beauty-inspired collections, from Balmain to Abra</h2><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1400px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:128.57%;"><img id="SVRYE5sVbpSuCj4o7MF5e9" name="Beauty x Fashion Moments 2024" alt="Three models backstage at Balmain S/S 2025" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/SVRYE5sVbpSuCj4o7MF5e9.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1400" height="1800" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Balmain S/S 2025 </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Courtesy of Balmain)</span></figcaption></figure><p>But runway beauty went the extra mile in 2024, with collections even taking direct inspiration from beauty products themselves. </p><p>At <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/tag/balmain" target="_blank">Balmain</a>, Olivier Rousteing used the house’s S/S 2025 show, staged in September, as an opportunity to toast a new line of perfumes called ‘Les Éternels’ and tease yet-to-be-released Balmain Beauty products. Flacon-shaped clutches, trompe l’oeil lipstick heels and eyeshadow palette pochettes figured alongside dresses embroidered with depictions of scarlet tinted lips and lacquered nails. (In 2022, Balmain partnered with Estée Lauder to bring Balmain Beauty to life. William P. Lauder, grandson of Estée and chairman of executive chairman of The Estée Lauder Companies, watched the collection unfold from the front row). </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1078px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:127.55%;"><img id="QGbyKEXnrjnjn7hjMt2rK9" name="Beauty x Fashion Moments 2024" alt="Model in a blue shirt with an eyeshadow palette earring" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/QGbyKEXnrjnjn7hjMt2rK9.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1078" height="1375" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">The Abra A/W 2024 earrings included those in the shape of eyeshadow palettes and lipsticks </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Courtesy of Abra)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Elsewhere, independent label <a href="https://abra.paris/" target="_blank">Abra</a> leaned into beauty-inspired design for its A/W 2024 show, presented over Paris Fashion Week in February. The brand was founded in 2019 by Abraham Ortūno Perez, who has worked with Jonathan Anderson on footwear for both <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/tag/jw-anderson" target="_blank">JW Anderson</a> and <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/tag/loewe" target="_blank">Loewe</a>. In particular, Perez is responsible for the former’s giant chain mules and the latter's <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/fashion/loewe-surreal-heel-shoes-ss22" target="_blank">surrealist sandals for S/S 2022</a>, which included heels in hyper-realistic broken eggs, bars of soap and bottles of nail polish.</p><p>For the Abra collection in question, make-up brushes were transformed into necklaces, while lipsticks and mini eyeshadow palettes became earrings and brooches. There was also an oversized white T-shirt dress, which appeared as though the model had wiped her hands on it after applying foundation. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:800px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:125.00%;"><img id="eNaGAthZLqdeqqWgSqBPDB" name="Abra A/W 2024" alt="Abra A/W 2024" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/eNaGAthZLqdeqqWgSqBPDB.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="800" height="1000" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Abra A/W 2024 </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Courtesy of Abra)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="beauty-launches-from-celine-to-bottega-veneta">Beauty launches, from Celine to Bottega Veneta</h2><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1080px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:100.00%;"><img id="MwJMAMW2UKUdbHX5izMKgN" name="Celine Beauté" alt="Celine Beauté" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/MwJMAMW2UKUdbHX5izMKgN.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1080" height="1080" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">‘Le Rouge Celine’ lipstick by Celine Beauté in the shade ‘Rouge Triomphe’ </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Courtesy of Celine)</span></figcaption></figure><p>2024 was as much about what landed on shop floors as what we saw on the runways, with the year bringing a glut of beauty launches from brands and houses.</p><p>One of the most memorable is Celine’s first-ever make-up product, ‘Le Rouge Celine’, a classic satin-finish scarlet hue that comes in an exquisite gold case, developed under the direction of Hedi Slimane.

                                <p>‘A new French style’ is how Alice B Toklas, member of the Parisian avant-garde, described Balmain when the first collection debuted in 1945. Seventy-five years on, its current creative director, Olivier Rousteing, is carrying on the tradition of innovation. Perhaps fashion’s most impressive Wunderkind – he took the helm of the brand at just 25 years old – Rousteing revitalised the brand by translating traditional couture techniques into a contemporary vernacular.</p><h2 id="olivier-rousteing-on-a-very-french-vision">Olivier Rousteing on a very French vision</h2><p>It seems only natural, then, that Rousteing would collaborate with candlemaker Trudon, a company known for its ‘reliance on archives, savoir-faire and legacies as key ingredients in the creation of offerings that are very much of today’, as he puts it.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2560px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:150.00%;"><img id="AT7cfTQcYauCncdPvwF8Ch" name="trudon_1.jpg" alt="Balmain Trudon candle designed by Olivier Rousteing and Trudon" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/AT7cfTQcYauCncdPvwF8Ch.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2560" height="3840" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Balmain ,Trudon)</span></figcaption></figure><p>‘Centuries ago, Trudon concentrated on meeting the needs of the powerful French monarchy and church – but now, with its inventive scents and beautifully presented candles, the company inventively relies on its wealth of knowledge and experience to surprise with new breakthroughs and reimagined offerings that fit perfectly into a 21st-century, modern ambiance,’ adds Rousteing.</p><h2 id="the-new-balmain-trudon-candle">The new Balmain-Trudon candle</h2><p>The first Balmain-Trudon candle came out last year, but this limited edition features a new container and a new scent, derived from Trudon’s ever-popular ‘Ernesto’ candle. The ‘Ernesto’ is very familiar to Rousteing, who often burns the <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/beauty-grooming/best-luxury-candles">luxury candles</a> in his home, studio, and even the Balmain flagship. </p><p>For him, ‘there is something a bit spiritual about a candle. I love the tiny bit of a ceremony that is part of setting it out, lighting it and letting its soft light give a new warmth to a space. Somehow, it relaxes me and helps me feel more creative as I work. I guess that feeling should not be all that surprising, knowing that Trudon originally began, centuries ago, creating candles for French cathedrals.’</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2560px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:150.00%;"><img id="avRy9M3mN5VNQS5UHAts8X" name="trudon_2.jpg" alt="Balmain Trudon candle designed by Olivier Rousteing and Trudon" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/avRy9M3mN5VNQS5UHAts8X.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2560" height="3840" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Balmain ,Trudon)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Rousteing worked with the nose behind the ‘Ernesto’ candle, Emilie Bouge, to create a floral, slightly more delicate edition of this classic scent. The original ‘Ernesto’ is inspired by a Havana hotel during the Cuban Revolution, and features a steamy mix of tobacco, cedar and gunpowder. <br><br>‘If Ernesto was incarnated it would be a Cuban rebel like Che Guevara, smoking his cigar with his sleeves rolled up,’ says Julien Pruvost, Creative Director for Trudon. ‘The Balmain version is a feminine [incarnation] of that scent. She wouldn’t smell like tobacco and leather but she would be impregnated with that because she’s around these men. She’s part of the rebellion but carries a deep sensual kind of dark floral notes, like a black rose.’</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1540px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:61.30%;"><img id="ej273yzvFVTKXcWmhHnHXi" name="trudon_3.jpg" alt="Balmain Trudon candle designed by Olivier Rousteing and Trudon" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ej273yzvFVTKXcWmhHnHXi.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1540" height="944" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Balmain ,Trudon)</span></figcaption></figure><p>The candle’s striped, red and gold container is a visual complement to Balmain’s fashion collections. As with all Trudon candles, the glass container has been handcrafted in Tuscany and filled with a unique wax formulation perfected over its over 300 year history. Rousteing says, ‘The bold stripes on the glass container reference one of Balmain’s icons: the house’s modern, luxe take on Normandy’s traditional <em>marinière</em> sweater. We’ve played with new takes on the marinière on almost every Balmain Paris Fashion Week runway for the past decade.’ The gold colouring, meanwhile, is ‘a salute to Balmain’s couture origins’.</p><h2 id="keeping-a-historic-brand-relevant">Keeping a historic brand relevant</h2><p>Ultimately, the new Balmain-Trudon candle is a compelling study in how historic brands innovate and collaborate to stay relevant to a modern audience. Asked about this, Rousteing says: ‘Balmain rests atop an incredible legacy. And, of course, each of our collections builds upon that history, looking to our rich archives for inspiration and relying on skilled artisans, whose savoir-faire is based on centuries of Parisian fashion refinement and learning. But, at the same time, this house could not possibly be more of today. That’s because Balmain has always looked to the power of popular culture, as well as the energy and beauty surrounding us on the avenues and boulevards of Paris, for inspiration.’ </p><p>This constant celebration of new thoughts and new voices is what guarantees that the historic house continues to offer a truly modern and compelling outlook.</p><p>INFORMATION</p><p><a href="https://www.balmain.com/gb">balmain.com</a>; <a href="https://trudon.co.uk/">trudon.com</a></p>

                                <p>Sneakers have taken on even more collectible currency. In September 2020, Sotheby’s Cult Canvas auction saw a series of artist-designed Nike trainers sell for prices as high as $63,000, customised by creatives including Futura and Jeff Staple, and in November of the same year, Detroit-based sneaker reseller Stock X announced it had an average of 25 million monthly users worldwide. Earlier this month,<a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/fashion/aitor-throup-anatomyland-nft" target="_self"> trainers even stepped into the NFT market</a>, with virtual sneaker brand RTFKT Studios linked up with the crypto-artist FEWOCiOUS, on a sale of over 600 styles that totalled over $3.1 million in sales. From <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/tags/dior">Dior</a> to Celine, a host of brands are stepping out with new coveted styles, guaranteed to be future collectors items.

                                <p>Studio KO has just revealed the first designs for the <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/tags/Saint-laurent" target="_self">Yves Saint Laurent</a> museum in Morocco, a new complex entirely dedicated to the legendary French designer and his work. Situated in Marrakesh, the establishment will house part of the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/tags/paris" target="_self">Paris</a> collection.<br><br>Headed by Olivier Marty and Karl Fournier, the French architecture firm already has some serious leisure and fashion credentials under its belt – they are also behind works such as the Chiltern Firehouse in London and the Balmain boutique in <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/tags/new-york" target="_self">New York.</a><br><br>The team has had an office in Morocco for 15 years. They had worked privately for Pierre Bergé (co-founder of YSL fashion house and President of the Fondation PB-YSL) in Tangier in the past – an event which led to this commission. ‘It came that, as young architects in Paris, we had an opportunity to get in touch with great clients there in Morocco, where expectations were huge and competitors few,’ they say. ‘It all started with the <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/tags/Herm%C3%A8s" target="_self">Hermès</a> (family), the Agnellis, then Pierre Bergé.’<br><br>The new building sits next to the famous Jardin Majorelle, which was co-owned by Saint Laurent and where his ashes were scattered after his death in 2008. It will span 4,000 sq m and play host to an impressive 5,000 items of clothing; 15,000 accessories; thousands of sketches; and other assorted objects.<br><br>A permanent exhibition area will be complemented by a temporary exhibition space, a 130-seat auditorium, a bookshop, a cafe-restaurant with a terrace and a research library, touching upon themes of literature, botany, Berber culture, poetry, history and, of course, Saint Laurent’s oeuvre.<br><br>The architects take inspiration from the North African country for their designs. The new building is a sophisticated, tactile project in terracotta (bricks from a local supplier make up the external skin), concrete, terrazzo and Moroccan stone. There were also sartorial influences.<br><br>‘The client gave us – on purpose – an abstract brief, that was not referring to the formal language of Yves Saint Laurent. Pierre Bergé wanted the project to be anchored in both modernity and Morocco,’ explain the architects. ‘We designed the building like one would cut fabric for a dress, by composing curves and lines, in the fashion of the working drawings, white traced on black paper, that we discovered in the designer’s workshop and archives. Its façades would be wrapped it in a brick trim, like a drape, a throw, a cape.’<br><br>The 2017 launch of the new building is scheduled to coincide with a new Yves Saint Laurent museum in Paris, in the renovated headquarters of the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1540px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:61.30%;"><img id="E4Dkiypk9n6oJksZRHueiW" name="musee-yves-saint-laurent-marrakech_01.jpg" alt="Terrazzo and Moroccan stone" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/E4Dkiypk9n6oJksZRHueiW.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1540" height="944" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Set to open in 2017, the structure is clad in terracotta bricks, over a build featuring concrete, terrazzo and Moroccan stone </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: studioko.fr)</span></figcaption></figure><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:608px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:155.26%;"><img id="xS8UAEXzVhdUf86G4k7aNd" name="musee-yves-saint-laurent-marrakech_02.jpg" alt="Construction" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/xS8UAEXzVhdUf86G4k7aNd.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="608" height="944" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">The building will span 4,000 sq m and will play host to an impressive 5,000 items of clothing; 15,000 accessories; thousands of sketches; and other assorted objects </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: studioko.fr)</span></figcaption></figure><p>INFORMATION</p><p>For more information, visit the Studio KO <a href="http://www.studioko.fr/" target="_blank">website</a></p>

                                <p>London&apos;s South Audley Street is now sporting a new French resident in the form of Parisian stalwart <a href="http://http://www.balmain.com/en_uk/boutiques/london-south-audley" target="_blank">Balmain</a>, with the house&apos;s 29 year-old creative director in town for its grand unveiling. Conceived by <a href="http://www.josephdirand.com/" target="_blank">architect Joseph Dirand</a>, the two-storey boutique merges a quiet 18th century elegance, which respectfully salutes the legacy of founder Pierre Balmain and its Mayfair location, with a fresh modernity courtesy of its neutral colour palette, geometric slate flooring and mirrored counters.<br><br>&apos;The store in Paris is really rich French, Haussmann, baroque,&apos; says Rousteing of the brand&apos;s global flagship, &apos;Here, we have kept the DNA with the quality and richness of that couture feeling, but we wanted it to feel more cosy and intimate because I think that is London, this warm intimacy belongs to London more than Paris.&apos; Sitting in the store&apos;s lower ground menswear salon he adds, &apos;Paris is all this marble, like you are coming to a castle, whereas here it is a like a little chic glamour house.&apos;<br><br>The brand&apos;s Parisian architect concurs: &apos;It was very important for me that this London address be a continuation, not a replication, of my previous work for Balmain. In 2009, when I remodeled the house&apos;s historic Paris flagship my aim was to create a Parisian townhouse where the house founder would have been very much at home. My work on this London flagship translates that same French refinement into a slightly different English vocabulary.&apos; Here, Dirand has maintained the façade&apos;s traditional gold leaf and black lacquer frame, yet inside the space&apos;s aristocratic mouldings that have been dialed back for a new age.<br><br>&apos;Since this is meant to be founder Pierre Balmain&apos;s "London pied-à-terre", it made sense to channel the look of the local architecture,&apos; he continues. &apos;To do that, I relied on the vocabulary of the Queen Anne Revival style - the defining architectural style of the surrounding Mayfair neighborhood. The space&apos;s doors, ceilings, mirrors and large stone fireplace are all inspired by that classically sober English style.&apos; Under foot the floor&apos;s ivory thalas and grey hainaut stone paving is also a riff on traditional English parquet.<br><br>&apos;Continuing on the theme of this address being a "second home" I also think that if Pierre Balmain had made the move to London, he would definitely have brought along with him the furniture that he loved. Therefore, I have created pieces inspired by the house founder&apos;s favourite mid-century French furniture designers, André Arbus and Jean Royère.&apos;<br><br>The colour palette and noir marble accents also replicate the walls and fireplaces of the house&apos;s current designer&apos;s home: &apos;My house is really French, Haussmann and baroque,&apos; says Rousteing, &apos;but not gold, more white on white, and black on black. The marble fireplaces are a little piece of Versailles that I love - the richness of France.&apos;<br><br>As for the store&apos;s key accent hue - an olive that has featured heavily in Rousteing&apos;s recent military-minded collections, he adds, &apos;Khaki has always been really important to the collections - last winter was all olive - as it works really well with most colours. So whatever collection you put around it, it will match.&apos; Indeed, the perfect neutral resting place for S/S 2015&apos;s graphic prints and tribal beading, before <a href="https://www.wallpaper.com/fashion/editors-picks-from-paris-fashion-week-aw-2015-womenswear-collections/8543#113814" target="_self">A/W 2015&apos;s disco colour palette</a> lands in London in the autumn.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1540px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:61.30%;"><img id="TGPmiTHhCLpPwcQUZxbTmY" name="03_Balmain.jpg" alt="Stairs" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/TGPmiTHhCLpPwcQUZxbTmY.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1540" height="944" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Conceived by architect Joseph Dirand, the two-storey boutique merges a quiet 18th century elegance, which respectfully salutes the legacy of founder Pierre Balmain and its Mayfair location, with a fresh modernity courtesy of its neutral colour palette, geometric slate flooring and mirrored counters </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Parisian )</span></figcaption></figure><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1540px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:61.30%;"><img id="4kcQfXP7nSFj6VArJhwHz" name="IMG_3416_1.jpg" alt="Man wearing blazer" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/4kcQfXP7nSFj6VArJhwHz.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1540" height="944" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">In town for the grand opening, current creative director Olivier Rousteing, says, 'We have kept the (Paris store's) DNA with the quality and richness of that couture feeling, but we wanted it to feel more cosy and intimate because I think that is London, this warm intimacy belongs to London more than Paris' </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Parisian )</span></figcaption></figure><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1540px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:61.30%;"><img id="biZFKQ3YQMmQKZtSDwiaVE" name="02_Balmain.jpg" alt="Room with dresses" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/biZFKQ3YQMmQKZtSDwiaVE.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1540" height="944" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">The brand's Parisian architect concurs: 'It was very important for me that this London address be a continuation, not a replication, of my previous work for Balmain.

                                <p>Olivier Rousteing&apos;s hip-hop soundtrack set the scene for A/W, as Jourdan Dunn strode onto his Perspex runway in a leather utility biker jacket and silk cargo pants, as the lyrics went on to decree, &apos;she wants it... so I gotta get it to her&apos;. This exuberance for a patch pocket was first seen in New York at Alexander Wang, although this outing was set to be a far sexier R&B groove. Leather cargo versions soon marched by, despite the fact that the Balmain woman is not really the type to need to carry anything more than her attitude. The tribal beat built with coiled neckpieces, weighty gold bamboo hoop earrings, and the house&apos;s strong-shouldered jackets, cinched with a pleated peplum and teamed back with studded Roman gladiator skirts, as the military influence strode along, climaxing with a one-shouldered officer&apos;s uniform that was strictly for after-dark territory. Far from being a democratising leveller, Rousteing&apos;s uniforms were awarded a decorated status, and came dripping with the tight-laced manipulations we&apos;ve come to expect from the 28-year-old&apos;s meticulously worked ready-to-wear. His warrior muse was loud and proud, inspired by Peter Beard&apos;s safari photography, and women of his generation. Rousteing&apos;s rope braiding leapt off a General&apos;s epaulette to form heavy, body-con numbers that even gave Rosie Huntington-Whiteley a little extra bootie. In essence the Balmain woman&apos;s got game, and even more than usual, thanks to a selection of re-worked African pelts from leopard to zebra, paired-back with his global nomad&apos;s laced-up tortoiseshell heels.<br><br><em>Photography: Jason Lloyd-Evans</em></p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:770px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:61.30%;"><img id="s6YuaVftX7iXuyNMWZexdj" name="02_Balmain.jpg" alt="Models backstage at Balmain A/W 2014" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/s6YuaVftX7iXuyNMWZexdj.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="770" height="472" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Jason Lloyd Evans)</span></figcaption></figure><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:770px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:61.30%;"><img id="T2UTQGs8NEX9CRzqsnyyJ5" name="03_Balmain.jpg" alt="Models backstage at Balmain A/W 2014" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/T2UTQGs8NEX9CRzqsnyyJ5.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="770" height="472" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Jason Lloyd Evans)</span></figcaption></figure><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:770px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:61.30%;"><img id="Td88uc84bVEBD87PAu3e6G" name="04_Balmain.jpg" alt="Models backstage at Balmain A/W 2014" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Td88uc84bVEBD87PAu3e6G.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="770" height="472" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Jason Lloyd Evans)</span></figcaption></figure><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:770px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:61.30%;"><img id="a6QzErtYBNewMA3DeD94zY" name="05_Balmain.jpg" alt="Models backstage at Balmain A/W 2014" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/a6QzErtYBNewMA3DeD94zY.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="770" height="472" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Jason Lloyd Evans)</span></figcaption></figure>
