The 40-year-old designer, who’s led the Parisian house since 2011, broke the news himself on Instagram this Wednesday. “Today marks the end of my Balmain era,” he wrote, calling it both “a love story” and “a life story.” His post felt deeply personal thankful, nostalgic, and proud.

Balmain confirmed his exit soon after, thanking him for his “visionary approach” and hinting that a new creative direction will be announced “in due course.”

When Rousteing first took charge at just 25: he made headlines for two reasons, his age and his presence. He was one of the youngest ever to lead a major Parisian fashion house and one of the few Black designers at that level. Over 14 years, he took Balmain from a quiet couture label to a world-recognized luxury brand.

His aesthetic was easy to spot: sharp shoulders, structured cuts, and high-shine finishes. But what really set him apart was how he understood fame and community. Even before fashion lived online, Rousteing had already built his own tribe, the Balmain Army, fronted by Rihanna, Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, and Naomi Campbell, women who carried his brand of fearless of glamour.

Rousteing’s runways felt more like music events than fashion shows. Lights, sound, energy, and a sense that everyone in the room belonged. He made luxury feel inclusive, without losing its edge.

His own story only deepened that message. Born in Bordeaux and adopted as a baby, Rousteing discovered later in life that his birth parents were of Somali and Ethiopian descent. That revelation became part of his creative voice; his collections often reflected identity, resilience, and a longing to belong.

A defining chapter closes, no doubt. Rousteing leaves Balmain with a legacy. And knowing him, this isn’t the end of the story, it’s the beginning of something new.
