“When she saw all the dancers loving the outfit—and she was loving her own outfit—she realized that what we were creating on stage for her, for all the dancers, was something really impactful,” the designer explained to Vogue.
“I worked really long with her on the Beychella moments, and the fact that we can release this collaboration that is based on our creativity, Beyoncé and I, is really a big, big step for fashion and music together.”
The mini-collection — composed of yellow and pink sweatshirts Bey wore onstage and a black tee with the same graphic — will launch July 13 in Paris and will be available the following day on beyonce.com and balmain.com
Creative director Olivier Rousteing said of the collab, “I worked really long with her on the Beychella moments, and the fact that we can release this collaboration that is based on our creativity, Beyoncé and I, is really a big, big step for fashion and music together.” The joint message, he continues, is to never stop dreaming.
