It's "The Higher the Platform, the Closer to God" at Balmain's Heavenly Runway
Get ya ankles ready for platform season.
For Spring/Summer 2023, Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing combines the sculptural dresses synonymous with the house with an airy offering of celestial drapery.
Adding to — and possibly even elevating — the collection are a slew of platform shoes from gladiator sandals to post-apocalyptic sneaker styles. Rock-shaped soles bring a warrior-like energy to braided leather sandals while a cast of angels grace flatform booties.
We’ve rounded up the best footwear moments from Balmain in the gallery above. Stay tuned for additional fashion week coverage.
