Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing recently hit pause on his French femme designs to capture the bold spirit of 1980s Americana in honour of the Netflix series Stranger Things. In the Balmain x Stranger Things limited-edition collection, clothing and accessories exude the bright and effervescent style codes of the time period — think flashy music videos, mall rats and a whole lot of jazzercise — all with Balmain’s expert tailoring.
And as odd as this pairing may seem, it stems from authenticity. Rousteing is a true fan of the fantasy horror blockbuster (apparently he binges each new season as soon as Netflix releases them) and has always been mesmerized by the essence of the decade it takes place in. For anyone who can relate, the fashionable memorabilia becomes available on November 6th.
