Hot on the heels of news that Beyoncé and Adidas have ended their Ivy Park partnership, the pop icon on Friday unveiled Renaissance Couture, a collaboration with French fashion house Balmain.
The pop superstar teamed up with Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing for the collection of 16 one-of-a-kind designs showcased in the new issue of Vogue France.
Each look was inspired by a different track on Beyoncé’s most recent album Renaissance.
“Olivier is a dream partner and a constantly innovating and evolving designer,” Beyoncé said, in a release. “Everything he did as a Black seamstress to break down and open doors was inspirational. From our very first meeting and with the designs he has made over the years for my shows and appearances, I knew that one day I would be working with him on a collection.
“I am very proud of what we have created.”
Balmain said Renaissance Couture is a one-time collection and none of it will be for sale.
The French fashion house, founded in 1945, is owned by a Qatari investment fund.
