Luxury fashion house Balmain works in collaboration with Cara Delivigne on a collection of handbags, shining the spotlight on the model as she is the model muse behind all the designs. The brand's creative director Olivier Rousteing shares a close relationship with Delivigne and he shares his admiration of her unapologetic attitude.
He states that he was inspired by her style, describing it as "she's got attitude; she is a troublemaker, and she doesn't care. She's defiant, but she is a paradox: She can be sweet and romantic too; she can be an angel, or she can be a devil. She cannot be categorized," captivating her versatility. The collaboration delivers three new styles entitled the Twist, the Romeo, and the BBag.
