|December 02, 2025
Star designer Olivier Rousteing announced that he was quitting as artistic director of French fashion house Balmain after 14 years in which he revolutionized the luxury group.
Rousteing was the first black designer to lead a major Paris fashion house and is credited with helping make luxury fashion more accessible, recruiting Kim Kardashian as one of the label's best-known faces.
"I arrived when I was 24 (as a designer in 2009) with my eyes wide open and the determination to persevere always," the 40-year-old said on Instagram.
He was promoted to creative director two years later.
"I am leaving Balmain with my eyes still wide open - open to the future and to the beautiful adventures to come."
Rousteing gave no details of his future plans. He thanked his colleagues and "all the people who believed in me from the start".
