“We are thrilled to share the latest iteration of our collaboration with iconic Parisian fashion House of Balmain,” notes evian Global Director Dawid Borowiec. “It is truly special to have the opportunity to come together with a fellow French pioneer who also values cutting-edge innovations, to collectively illustrate the beauty of togetherness. We are so excited to launch this first collection of Balmain x evian ready-to-wear, available for all evian fans and Balmain followers across the globe to purchase online and instore.”

More than 75 years ago, when Pierre Balmain first introduced his “New French Style,” it immediately became clear to all that his eponymous house was offering a distinctly fresh, bold and feminine conception of haute couture, one which broke with many of the well-established conventions of the era. His audaciousness paid off. Pierre Balmain became one of the handful of young French talents who ushered in the mid-century’s golden age of couture and helped to re-establish Paris as the world’s fashion capital. Since 2011, Balmain’s Creative Director, Olivier Rousteing, has been inventively building upon Pierre Balmain’s extraordinary legacy, while always remaining true to his own determination to design clothes that reflect the way his inclusive, powerful and global Balmain Army wishes to live today. The result is a unique and instantly recognizable Balmain silhouette, style and attitude that highlights the singular craftsmanship of the house’s celebrated ateliers, while consistently referencing a rich Parisian heritage.

One Health vision that the health of the people and the health of the planet are interconnected and therefore seeks to protect and nourish both.

Both Balmain and evian have deep roots in Savoy, the beautiful, mountainous region of southeastern France. House founder Pierre Balmain was born in the small Alpine village of Saint Jean de Maurienne, not far from the impressive peaks where evian’s water first begins its famous fifteen-year underground filtering process. The campaign for the second Balmain x evian collaboration highlights that shared origin story, with filmmaker and photographer Carlota Guerrero filming the highly acclaimed dance troupe La Marche Bleue amid the beauty of snowy summits. Inspired by the collaboration’s “Together, Change Is Beautiful” message, choreographer Leo Walk designed sequences that would be impossible to perform alone—but are sublime when performed together. Reflecting on the campaign, Guerrero noted: “I always strive to create a safe space for people to feel respected, beautiful and connected in my work. Togetherness and the natural beauty that comes with it are such important parts of this campaign and it was a pleasure to work on something that is so in line with my own personal beliefs.” The ‘Together, Change is Beautiful" campaign was created by Wieden + Kennedy.
