Brigade I
The intricate metal patterns of the Brigade’s side shields recall the precise and beautiful architectural patterns that our Japanese artisans pass by each day. For an unexpected pairing with those elegantly precise geometries, Olivier Rousteing and Akoni have channeled the ‘80s pop vibe that has dominated Balmain’s most recent collections, playing with distinctive frame shapes that were popular during MTV’s earliest years and which still retain their nonconformist edge today. For Fall 2024, the popular Brigade has been given a new spin, with sunglass and optical options being given bold new colorways. For sun, the frame is now available in matte black, with gold details and grey lenses clearly mirroring the Balmain runway’s love for a rebellious biker attitude. In addition, optical Brigade designs have adopted a fresh spin on the iconic Balmain black-and-gold pairing. Handmade in Japan. Includes Balmain box, hard case, soft case, cleaning cloth, and 1-year manufacturer warranty.
