How incredibly traumatic: Olivier Rousteing revealed recently that [in October of 2020, a freak fireplace accident badly burned his face and body](https://www.cnn.com/style/article/olivier-rousteing-balmain-fire-injury-burn-explosion-scli-intl/index.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and he'd been hiding it from the public while he tried to recover. That is awful. So, it's little wonder that he turned his late September show into a celebration of his recovery and his tenure at Balmain -- he was, when he took the job, the first Black person to head a historic French fashion house -- by opening it with Beyoncé's narration and closing it with a capsule of his favorite archival looks from across the decade, worn by the likes of Naomi Campbell and Natalia Vodianova and Carla Bruni. The new stuff is... well, he's doing a lot of stuff with polka dots and stripes, at least? But also navels and nipples. Still, holy cats, that he has produced ANYTHING since October 2020 is a miracle in and of itself.

It's a BIG show, and there ARE a couple interesting things amid the nonsense. If you want to skip to the archival stuff, it starts with Naomi on slide 99 (!!).
