Football has Kylian Mbappé, swimming has Léon Marchand, basketball has Victor Wembanyama, rugby has Antoine Dupont and fashion now has Olivier Rousteing. The artistic director of Maison Balmain is indeed a rising star in his field. A fashion designer who has a bright future. A pride for France to count such talents that make France shine on the international scene.
The young man from Bordeaux does not shine on the pitch, but on the podiums. According to the most eminent specialists, his talent is immense and his destiny is clear-cut. However, to see the future with peace of mind, it is important to know your past. At Olivier Rousteing it’s a question which has been pending since his earliest childhood in the Gironde region.
The quest for its origins
Olivier Rousteing is indeed a boy whose the biological mother decided to give birth under. So he never had the chance to meet her. This original wound is a scar that is still open to him, even if he considers that he has turned it into a strength. The quest for his origins remains something deeply rooted in him. He had also confided widely on this subject on the set of C to you.
“If she looks at me tonight, I’ll say thank you because I wouldn’t be here with you tonight, I wouldn’t have had the chance or the strength to be who I am todayto have adoptive parents who are incredible. (…) She contributed, by leaving me at the orphanage, to giving me the chance to meet parents with lots of love ».
Olivier Rousteing’s message on Instagram
In his misfortune, the young Bordeaux native had the chance to come across the road of kind people. He was adopted at a very young age by a family who took care of him like their own child. A youth torn between this absent maternal love and this cocoon in which he grew up. A life that made him what he is today, namely one of the most prestigious fashion designers in the world. He took advantage of the end-of-year holidays to go to his native southwest to spend a few days with his adoptive parents.
Always a special moment for him as he revealed on Instagram. “So much love from my family, I love this time of year so much. Time stops. A new beginning, recharge all energies with your loved ones. Being a kid again and feeling the love of my family is the most important thing. I wish you an incredible Christmas with your loved onesMerry Christmas “. Looking forward to seeing him again very soon on the Maison Balmain catwalks.
