POOL PARTY HOSTED BY OLIVIER ROUSTEING LAUNCHES ONE&ONLY AESTHESIS X BALMAIN COLLABORATION 

Liam Hemsworth, Kim Cattrall, Kylie Minogue, Jon Kortajarena, Luke Evans, Romee Strijd and Chanel Iman were among a star-studded international fashion crowd who attended a Balmain pool party at One&Only Aesthesis, hosted by Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing. The day party and brunch, with a live performance by DJ Mikey Deleasa, marked the launch of a special collaboration between Balmain and One&Only—transporting a touch of “New French Style” to the Athenian Riviera—to include a summer pool club take-over and a special edition of the 1945 Cabas handbag designed exclusively for One&Only guests.

The pool party and brunch come as the final day in the One&Only Aesthesis Grand Opening Weekend, which saw a host of A-List celebrities, international tastemakers, and the Greek capital’s most influential crowd congregate at the ultra-luxury resort to usher in a new golden era for the Athenian Riviera, famed for its popularity in the 1960s amongst Hollywood stars and international jet set.

Among the weekend’s star-studded guests were Kylie Minogue, Kim Cattrall, Liam Hemsworth, Jon Kortajarena, Luke Evans, Olivier Rousteing, and Alton Mason.

Guests at the pool party sipped on Aegean Mules, Peach & Spritz cocktails, a non-alcoholic Americano, Kylie Minogue Côte de Provence Rosé, and Kylie Minogue Prosecco D.O.C., while enjoying a bespoke brunch menu at the poolside restaurant Ora by Ettore Botrini, including beef carpaccio, fresh salads, and barbecued seabass.  The pool party hosted by Olivier Rousteing also celebrated the launch of a limited-edition Balmain x One&Only Aesthesis 1945 Cabas handbag.

The One&Only Aesthesis pool has been transformed to channel the artistic energy and signature prints of the iconic Balmain house. Inspired by the intricate pathways of French Renaissance gardens, Balmain’s Labyrinth pattern of interlocking “B” and “P” motifs adorn the Aesthesis poolside space in unique customizations created especially for the collaboration.

Throughout the summer, all parasols, pool towels, sunlounger cushions, floating loungers, and cabanas surrounding the pool will be embellished with the instantly recognizable graphic iconography of Balmain. This will complement the palette of One&Only Aesthesis and its thoughtfully curated surroundings, reminiscent of the mid-century modern architecture of Glyfada’s 1960 heyday.
