On October 1, Olivier Rousteing’s exotically ritzy looks for Balmain were on full display as the fashion house presented clothes for Spring 2016 Paris Fashion Week.

Set at Paris’s Hotel Intercontinental, the star-studded event drew notables like Diplo, Jada Pinkett Smith, and of course members of the Kardashian clan.

And while we shouldn’t care about whether or not Kris Jenner and her brood were in attendance, it’s important to pay attention to the 29-year-old designer.

Since taking over Christophe Decarnin’s creative director position at Balmain in 2011, Rousteing has been killing it in the fashion world.

Let’s look at three reasons why Balmain is a huge force that is changing fashion history forever.

Reason #1: Camel

Olivier Rousteing displayed a wide array of colors, however it was “camel” that proved to be the biggest standout. Supermodel Caroline Ribeiro kicked off the October 1 showcase, wearing a caramel-colored suede jacket and matching cigarette pants.

Reason # 2: Cut-Outs, Lattice, Ruffles and Sheers

The overall style of the season’s collection featured cinched waists, oversized belts, and “statement-making” necklaces. Rousteing has fashioned designs that effectively meld strong looks with soft ones. This is evident in the “body-baring” lattice skirts and tops, as well as romantic ruffles.

Reason #3: High-Waisted Briefs

Yas! Any reason to wear large, comfortable underclothes is perfectly fine with me. The daring style helps to transform the strong, confident clothes into a cohesive and sophisticated look.

Cheers, Olivier!
