Women's luxury coats and outerwear, designer outerwear: Balmain outerwear carries the tailoring of the house out into the street. Raglan shoulders, voluminous sleeves, a waist-fitted construction and engraved gold-tone buttons: the signature jacket draws on the uniform Pierre Balmain designed in 1975 for Air France's first female pilot, where the authority of the cut never restricts movement. Long coats, peacoats, trenches and cropped blousons inherit the same logic. Double-faced wool, cavallino, tweed, smooth lambskin or nappa and enveloping shearling: materials are chosen for the way they hold, tone-on-tone twill linings treated with the same rigour. A piece that finishes the silhouette rather than covering it, worn open or closed.
