英国版《GQ》曝光 Balmain × H&M 2015 联名系列

英国版《GQ》杂志在最新的 10 月刊中抢先曝光了 Balmain x H&M 这个备受期待的年度联名之作。Balmain 创意总监 Olivier Rousteing「初次在高街领域做了新的尝试」，而杂志中出现的大衣、衬衫、牛仔裤、夹克、连身服、球鞋和背包等以都延续了 Balmain 一贯的风格，好让更多人以 H&M 的价格来感受 Olivier Rousteing 独特的设计美学。

When they first came to me late last year to ask Balmain to be involved in this collaboration I was so pleased. I love H&M and I love its vision. I couldn’t say no. I still wear H&M and I just love its global nature and the vision it brings to the world, and I think it is great to mix my vision with their huge global platform… Balmain is super-expensive so it was really a challenge. The H&M team knew this, too, but they knew what they were going for. They wanted the luxury, they wanted the sharpness of the jackets. The challenge was to make it affordable, so we changed the fabrics and techniques. We did a little less embroidery. It was a compromise but we made certain the quality was still there. It wasn’t easy for me and it wasn’t easy for them, but I think we should be proud of the result. I know there are people that love Balmain but who can’t afford it. Maybe they will never be able to afford it but now for once in their life they can have a piece of me.
