Today, music is an integral part of parades. FashionAnd Balenciaga is no exception to the rule.
Especially since the brand launched its curated playlists on Apple Music two years ago, featuring artists like Rammstein, RuPaul, Aya Nakamura and Acid Arab.
All of them come with collections of exclusive pieces. It's therefore no surprise to see the luxury brand collaborating with Bang & Olufsen, the Danish brand at the forefront of acoustic innovation.
The "Speaker Bag" is designed to be both a bag and a speaker. This hybrid object, limited to 20 units, was unveiled last July at the 51ste Balenciaga's haute couture show in Paris. Its shape resembles that of the fashion house's handbags, and its body is made of solid aluminum with a handcrafted leather-lined compartment on the back. As for audio performance, the speaker offers up to 18 hours of battery life and multipoint connectivity.
"Everyone should be able to personalize their sound system to exactly match their sonic and aesthetic preferences, without compromising on sound quality." explains the press release. Or the art of knowing how to redesign the curves of a portable boombox for women, in a subtle and sculptural way.
