Beyoncé x Balmain: Renaissance Couture

Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing was inspired to design a collection for Beyoncé after listening to her album Renaissance. He created hammered metal bustiers, velvet gowns embroidered with pink feathers, and show-stopping silver fringed minidresses featuring matching capes. The eye-catching and sophisticated collection exhibited creativity and fashion expertise.
Look 1: Spiked Metal Bustier
This spiked metal bustier was inspired by Beyoncé’s lyrics: “From the top of the morning, I shine, right through the blinds.”
Look 2: Pink Feather Dress
This show-stopping piece is a black velvet dress with pink feathers coming out. The idea came from the lyrics “rainbow gelato in the streets.”
Look 3: Black Silk Gown
Leather, rayon, silk, and velvet make up this gorgeous black gown. It’s a multilayered and complex design with macrame on the body and feathers sticking up from the top. The look was inspired by the lyrics, “Ooh, la, la, la, that’s the way them boys sound when I walk through the block!”
Nike x Tiffany: Air Force 1 1837
In March, Nike and Tiffany released the Nike/Tiffany Air Force 1 1837, marking Tiffany’s first venture into footwear. The limited-edition release, which sold out almost immediately, featured Tiffany blue Nike swooshes and trademark heel tabs with silver Tiffany script stitched onto the tongue tag tags for added luxury and style.
Louis Vuitton has joined forces with Yayoi Kusama, an avant-garde Japanese artist known for her signature dot motif, to produce an exciting collection featuring painted, metallic, and infinity dots and psychedelic flowers. To commemorate their partnership, Harrods London celebrated with giant multicolored dots outside its entrance and window displays.
