A masterpiece from the Balmain x H&M 2015 collaboration, this black velvet mini dress channels the Parisian house’s signature opulence and power dressing in a wearable, modern form.
Crafted from a plush burnout velvet fabric featuring intricate baroque-inspired patterns, it’s structured with Balmain’s signature sharp shoulders and a body-contouring fit that sculpts the silhouette. The striking gold zip detail running down the back is a nod to Olivier Rousteing’s architectural precision and unapologetic glamour.
This piece defines the modern femme fatale, powerful, sleek, and unforgettable.
