Balmain, a renowned fashion house, has once again teamed up with the talented supermodel Cara Delevingne for an exciting new project. After taking a break from the fashion industry to focus on her acting career, Delevingne made a stunning comeback on the runway last September during Balmain’s Spring/Summer 2019 show. Since then, she has become the face of the brand, embodying the essence of Balmain’s latest collection.
In this collaboration, Delevingne and Balmain’s creative director Olivier Rousteing have worked together to create a captivating leather goods capsule collection. Rousteing crafted three unique handbag designs, while Delevingne infused her personal style by selecting metal embellishments and other intricate details. The collection kicks off with the launch of the BBag on May 29, followed by the introduction of two more designs, Twist and Romeo, in mid-July.
Drawing inspiration from Balmain’s Autumn/Winter 2019-2020 collection, the capsule exudes a rock-inspired vibe with a mix of leather, vinyl, studs, and glam accents. Delevingne flawlessly embodies this edgy yet versatile aesthetic, earning praise from Rousteing for her ability to transform between different personas.
To mark the release of the BBag, Balmain will unveil a series of interactive mini-films featuring Delevingne in a captivating spy role. Viewers will have the opportunity to choose different endings for each film, adding an element of suspense and interactivity to the campaign. The visually striking images were captured by acclaimed Polish photographer Sonia Szostak, with the creative agency Sunshine Company overseeing the production.
This collaboration between Balmain and Cara Delevingne exemplifies the brand’s innovative approach to melding luxury with a rebellious edge, appealing to a diverse audience of fashion enthusiasts worldwide. With Delevingne’s distinctive style and Rousteing’s creative vision, the capsule collection is poised to become a favorite among Balmain aficionados.
