Button-Embellished Mid-Ρise Leather Shorts

Establishing his couturier in 1945, Pierre Balmain’s pincer-sharp shoulder pads, belt-shaped skirts and neatly nipped-in waists defined the post-war silhouette of liberated France. But it was the ensemble's distinctly military, medallion-style buttons that crystallised Balmain's affinity for the architectural. Honouring the legacy of its founder, the label crafts these mid-rise shorts from buttery grained-leather, crowned with those enduring, polished gold-toned buttons descending its languid silhouette.
