Balenciaga introduces a special collection to join its ongoing Spring/Summer 2021 series with the launch of the 'We Are Pink' capsule. It is created to support breast cancer prevention research and is comprised of unisex jewelry and clothing items.
All of the products are detailed with the universal looped Pink Ribbon motif along with branding details nodding to the fashion house. There are hoodies, long sleeve shirts, as well as tees that are detailed with both of the logos along with the "WE ARE PINK" slogan. Notably, 10% of the proceeds raised from the collection will be directed to a research program at the Institut Curie, which works towards early breast cancer relapse detection methods.
