Victoria’s Secret has announced a collaboration with Balmain that will be released on the runway of its 2017 show in Shanghai this November.
The brands have many things in common: a global platform, tendencies for extravagance and the same taste in models. From Lily Donaldson to Lily Aldridge, the Hadids and a Jenner, they have all recruited a posse of glossies and given them a nickname – the Balmain Army and the Victoria’s Secret Angels.
Balmain has recently collaborated with L’Oréal, releasing luxe must-have lipsticks. However, this will be creative director Olivier Rousteing’s first foray into lingerie, meaning his army will finally have something to wear under their armour.
As part of the announcement, Rousteing interviewed Adriana Lima on what being an Angel means to her.
