Summary

Dua is joined by Olivier Rousteing, the creative director of the French fashion house, Balmain, for a wide-ranging conversation that offers an insider’s look at what makes one of fashion’s brightest minds tick. From the search to find his birth parents (“You know, I’ve grown up for 30 years without knowing where I come from… where my skin colour comes from? Where are my parents from? And what was the reason why they didn’t want to keep me?”) to his itinerary for the (rare!) ideal day off in Paris, this is one interview you won’t want to miss a second of!
