Pierre Balmain
1914-1982
Pierre Balmain
born May 18, 1914 in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, died June 29, 1982 in Paris, is a French couturier
who created his own fashion house in 1945.
He directed it until his death in 1982. Christophe Decarnin, in particular, succeeded him.
Pierre Balmain participated in the Second World War: he was mobilized between 1939 and 1941. Liberated, he returned to Lucien Lelong where he met Christian dior . He created at that time a little crepe dress, called "Petit Profit", which Lucien Lelong did not want to create but which despite this was a definite success since it will be offered 300 copies. Pierre Balmain opened his own fashion house in 1945, with the support of his mother and former workers from Balenciaga. At this time, he presented his first collection: the dresses and tailors perfectly matched the shapes of the body. The tones he uses in his creations are particularly dark and sober
it's a bit of his trademark.
His works immediately met with great success. He created the black sheath worn by Juliette Gréco for her wedding. He traveled a lot and at that time embodied French elegance. He created a perfume following his first collection which will be called "ELYsées 64/83", a second in 1947 "Vent Vert" and a last "Jolie Madame" in 1949. He decided to give the name of his last perfume for his Fall-Winter 1952-1953 collection.
He published his autobiography in 1964: My years and seasons.
