In 2021, Balmain teamed up with French outdoor brand Rossignol to create a stunning collection of limited-edition ski wear. The collection included multiple monogram-print items ranging from sweaters to ski suits, to leggings and practical beanies.

4. Balmain x H&M

The French luxury brand, Balmain, decided to mix high quality with high street in their 2014 collaboration with H&M. This Balmain x H&M collection sold out in a record time due to the powerful, bold, and embellished designs that appealed to young consumers.

The capsule collection, which was modeled by Gigi Hadid and Jourdan Dunn, included highlights from Rousteing’s previous collections with a glamourous, luxe look running through the pieces.

5. Balmain x Victoria’s Secret

Balmain x Victoria’s Secret collaboration debuted at Victoria’s Secret fashion show in 2017, where the models were clad in sexy lingerie all with the signature Balmain twist.

The Victoria’s Secret underwear was embellished with crystals, decorated with sparkling studs and chains, and made from sensual black mesh or dark red tartan, all adding a punk element to the designs.

Many of these designs were seen on the runway, such as the embellished bustier you see above, a piece that was modeled by Jasmine Tookes.

6. Balmain x Beyonce

In 2018, Balmain launched a collaboration with Beyonce based on the Balmain pieces the singer wore during her Coachella performance.

The pieces worn by Beyonce, and subsequently the items within the collection, were based on varsity styles of America’s historically Black colleges – as you can see with the silhouettes of the t-shirts and hoodies, as well as the emblems printed on these pieces.

The Balmain x Beyonce t-shirt shown above features a sorority-inspired motif to represent these Black educational institutions.

These Deva sneakers are just one piece from the limited edition collection, the story behind which you can read on the Balmain website, and represent the mix between high fashion and sportswear that this collaboration embodies.

9. Balmain x L’Oreal Paris

2017 saw the release of a Balmain x L’Oreal Paris capsule collection, which was made up of 12 shades of Colour Riche Lipstick.

The Parisian-based brands worked together to create a line of lipsticks that were intended to give all women that little bit of extra confidence, while the shades were specifically chosen to suit the full spectrum of skin tones since inclusion is such an important part of the Olivier Rousteing’s Balmain.

The packaging received that Balmain touch so that each lipstick is contained in a stunningly luxe tube and cap, printed with a gold Balmain logo.

10. Balmain x Beats

Beats is one of the biggest headphone brands in the world and collaborated with Balmain in 2017 to create a range of gorgeous headphones so that you can not only hear your music perfectly but also look incredible too!

The designs are sleek and glamourous, in rich gold and bronze tones that ooze luxury, while each pair of headphones come in a padded, Balmain emblazoned case for that perfect finishing touch. Kylie Jenner, a lover of Balmain fashion, was also chosen as the face of this beautiful collaboration.
