Beyoncé x Balmain Introduce FAULTLess RENAISSANCE Couture
Words / Editor In Chief: Miles Holder
Get ready fashionistas, because there’s a new collaboration in town and it’s nothing short of amazing! Beyoncé has teamed up with Balmain to create RENAISSANCE Couture, and it’s everything we’ve been waiting for. After a long three years of pandemic and chaos, this collection is the perfect antidote to lift our spirits and get us dancing again.
The collection is inspired by Beyoncé’s seventh solo album, RENAISSANCE, and features fifty new silhouettes that riff on the rhythm, spirit, and voices of the album. What’s more, this isn’t just another round of looks for the red carpet or concert stage. No, this time Beyoncé is stepping up as a true collaborator, assuming the role of design partner on the RENAISSANCE Couture Collection.
The collaboration between Beyoncé, her stylist Marni Senofonte, and the Balmain design team has been nothing short of amazing. Despite the unforgiving fashion-week and concert schedules, the team managed to work through hundreds of WhatsApps, Zooms, and emails to edit down last summer’s grouping of sketches into a reasonable number of true proposals, and then convert those into actual couture creations.
And the best part? This collection is based completely on the shared passion for melding together music and fashion. There were no boundaries or constraints, creating a dream environment that allowed the team to simply experiment, dream, and push each other to the max. The result is a one-of-a-kind couture collection, with each silhouette directly inspired by a specific RENAISSANCE composition.
I don’t know about you, but I’m already counting down the days until the Beyoncé x Balmain collection drops. This collaboration is truly the stuff of dreams, and I can’t wait to see what Beyoncé and Balmain have in store for us.
