About Balmain OFFICIER Sunglasses
"Before we even started on our version of a navigator, I needed to be sure that we could adapt the classic style in a way that would make it completely Balmain,” notes Olivier Rousteing. “Working closely with the talented Akoni team, I'm confident in saying that we were able to do exactly that with our new Officier frame.” The Officier pushes the navigator’s familiar squared-off silhouette to new limits, while adding side embellishments that recall Rousteing’s fascination with Versailles’ expert detailing. The sleek side shield and strong brow bar impart the confident swagger that one expects from Balmain Army members.
