About WONDER BOY
Akoni’s design team and Olivier Rousteing were determined to draw upon the library of distinctive Balmain codes for this striking edition of the Wonder Boy. And, to make this offering even more special, they've added one incredible final touch to the design, covering the side shields with a skilled engraving of Balmain’s striking Labyrinth pattern. That maze-inspired intricate blend of P and B initials was first introduced by Pierre Balmain 50 years ago and it was recently revamped and re-released by Olivier Rousteing as part of recent celebrations marking two important dates: the 75th anniversary of the founding of the house and the 10th anniversary of Olivier Rousteing’s first Balmain runway. For 2023, this popular silhouette channels the latest Paris Fashion Week runway colors, with the rose-gold, chocolate-brown, black and brown tones recalling the inspirations that Olivier Rousteing drew from Egyptian splendors and North African landscapes.
