HOT ! Triomphe

As the sneers of the London rockers and the powerful braggadocio of America’s earliest rappers made very clear, for many of the greatest ‘80s musicians, a brash confidence and uninhibited insolence was often just as important as their absolute mastery of tunes and lyrics. Olivier Rousteing salutes the spirit of that transformational moment of modern music with the Triomphe, named for Paris’ most celebrated symbol of unchallenged superiority. And, just like l’Arc de Triomphe, this solid and significant frame imposes a foursquare and forthright presence that is immediately felt by all. Mirroring design advances that set apart the Unicorn sneaker and the Jolie Madame bag, two of Balmain’s most popular luxury accessories, the Triomphe builds upon the house’s singular tradition of unexpected engineering artistry, featuring an unexpected “solid-and-void” connection between the metal browbar and the front frame. After all, what could possibly be more Balmain than an artisanal combination of innovative silhouettes and luxury materials? Handmade in Japan. Includes Balmain box, hard case, soft case, cleaning cloth, and 1-year manufacturer warranty.
