英國版《GQ》曝光 Balmain x H&M 2015 聯名系列

英國版《GQ》雜誌在最新的 10 月刊中搶先曝光了 Balmain x H&M 這個備受期待的年度聯名之作。Balmain 創意總監 Olivier Rousteing「初次在高街領域做了新的嘗試」，而雜誌中出現的大衣、襯衫、牛仔褲、夾克、連身服、球鞋和背包等以都延續了 Balmain 一貫的風格，好讓更多人以 H&M 的價格來感受 Olivier Rousteing 獨特的設計美學。

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.
