At the end of the outgoing 2021, L’Officiel Cyprus offers to recall the bright and unexpected fashion collaborations of the fashion industry giants.
Let's start with one of the newest collaborations - Balmain x Rossignol. The two brands have made a true couture collection of ski clothing.
The Balmain X Rossignol limited-edition collection, with its mix of equipment and clothing designs (for both on and off the pistes), will be available from October 15th at Balmain flagships across the globe, as well as Balmain.com and select luxury fashion and ski boutiques.
Emphasizing the unique authenticity of the partnership, the campaign videos and images were shot by Francesca Beltran at the Refuge de Solaise, set atop the mythical summit of Solaise, in Savoy’s spectacular Val d’Isère ski resort.
Beltran captured two Rossignol athletes—the Moguls Olympic champion and three-time world champion Perrine Laffont, as well as skilled freestyler Hugo Laugier—two members of a talented new generation of French winter-sport champions, each continuing a long tradition of excellence.
Another newest collab of Balmain – Balmain x Netflix.
When @netflix asked @olivier_rousteing to collaborate on a few pieces for “The Harder They Fall” – alongside the film’s Costume Director Antoinette Messam, the Creative Director was thrilled. So much so that he and his team at the Balmain atelier decided to create a limited-edition collection melding the film’s bold Western spirit and Balmain finesse.
The film – featuring a star-studded cast and the type of soundtrack you’d expect from a @jayz production – offers a renewed view of the genre with an embrace of historical truths and modern film-making.
Exploring ideas of authenticity and appropriation within the fashion industry, House codes from Gucci and Balenciaga merge to create new interpretations of signature pieces.
Among the hybrid universe of ready-to-wear and accessories, emblematic styles come together to create something new — from the Jackie 1961 enriched with a diagonal Balenciaga print to the Triple S reimagined with the recognizable Flora print.
Balenciaga has also created a great collab with the brand CROCS. A very daring collection of shoes for fashionistas is the Balenciaga and Crocs collaboration. Without further ado, just look at this collection.
