Le Salon d'Apollon (Press & Podcasts)

Editorial & Media | Brandon Bal-Lance

A salon for runway, editorial, campaign, press, features, and the media work behind the House.

Why Le Salon d'Apollon (Press & Podcasts)?

At the Palace of Versailles, Le Salon d'Apollon was the throne room of Louis XIV, the Sun King. It was named for Apollo, the god of the sun, music, and the arts, whom the king chose as his personal emblem. Beneath a ceiling painted with Apollo riding his golden sun chariot, it was the grandest and most public room in the palace, where the court gathered to see and be seen.

In the House of Bal-Lance, this is the room for the spotlight: the runways, campaigns, and editorial work that carry our artistry far beyond Saratoga.
