Rousteing spoke about the collaboration saying, “I want to talk to my generation: this is my main aim as a designer. H&M’s creative advisor, Ann-Sofie Johansson spoke about the Balmain capsule choice, saying that: (Balmain) “…is a mix between something couture-like, very glamorous, with a bit of streetwear attitude. We believed it was a really interesting mix. He wants to dress both women and men and make them look confident, glamorous, and elegant, and we stand for that.”
We definitely back that too and are on our seats to see what Rousteing produces for both men and womenswear after the Billboard Award looks wowed us. As Rousteing put it “what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas.”
