A Bomber

That Breaks

The Mould

How do you make a shattered-

glass jacket that doesn’t

require a paramedic on

standby? If you’re Balmain’s

Olivier Rousteing, you invent

custom film-printed and

laser-cut plexiglass wedges to

mimic the real thing and have

them sewn one by one onto a

bomber jacket base decked

out with sequins, crystal and

(actual) glass beads.
