The creative director of the French fashion house Balmain, Olivier Rousteing, revealed severe burns last year while he was in hospital from the explosion of his fireplace.
The photo on his Instagram feed, which was taken shortly after the incident was recorded, showing his entire torso bandaged and burns to his face and carried the message: « I finally feel ready to share this. »
The designer who just celebrated his 10th anniversary as responsible for Balmain’s collections, wrote in his post late Saturday that he woke up a year ago the morning after his chimney exploded in the hospital.
He thanked the staff at the Paris Saint-Louis Hospital for their care amid the coronavirus crisis, saying, he only told friends and his fashion teams about his injuries.
« To be honest, I’m not sure why I was so ashamed, maybe this obsession with Perfection, which fashion is known for, and my own insecurities, « he said.
In a follow-up message on Sunday, he posted a video from his most recent 10-year anniversary show and wrote, » I remember them all being mine Taking out bandages, it felt FREEDOM. «
For his anniversary show, the designer sent models down the catwalk in long trousers that covered the ankles and snug clothes made of strips of fabric that wrapped around the body and like bandages over them Chests puffed, some of them dangling.
Rousteing was appointed Creative Director of Balmain at the age of just 25 and has grown into an international fashion star close to celebrities like the Kardashian Jenner clan and singer Beyonce, that recorded a message that was played on the anniversary show.
