Captaine, Balmain’s premiere Aviator style, visibly builds upon the spirit of some of Olivier Rousteing’s most essential collections—those that focus the spirit of bold, daring pilots and fearless explorers. While it may be drawing inspiration one of the most traditional of frame styles, the Captaine revolutionises convention by omitting the nose bridge and integrating two small golden discs stamped with the Balmain monogram to the oversized lenses. Colour choices reflect Balmain’s distinctive DNA, with signature gold, blue and brown tones paired with Japanese acetate. Akoni’s craftsmen have relied on remarkable tortoise-shell, bone and cracked-leather treatments, allowing each distinct Capitaine option to recall a key Balmain runway moment and helping to make this one of the favourite choices for Balmain’s many celebrity followers.
