For Spring/Summer 2023, Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing combines the sculptural dresses synonymous with the house with an airy offering of celestial drapery.

Adding to — and possibly even elevating — the collection are a slew of platform shoes from gladiator sandals to post-apocalyptic sneaker styles. Rock-shaped soles bring a warrior-like energy to braided leather sandals while a cast of angels grace flatform booties.

We've rounded up the best footwear moments from Balmain in the gallery above. Stay tuned for additional fashion week coverage.
