In collaboration with Neiman Marcus, Balmain has revealed its latest 20s-inspired sportswear collection called 'Summer Set.' Olivier Rousteing, Creative Director of Balmain, said: "Neiman Marcus and the house of Balmain have enjoyed a very special relationship. That's why I was so happy to create this summer collection that combines our shared passions for French heritage and Parisian savoir-faire with modern spins on classic summer-sport silhouettes."
Summer Set comes in bright white and light pink tones with styles that can be worn to the tennis court and the boardroom. In addition, the collection pays homage to the 20s era and one of its most popular pastimes, racquet sports. The limited-edition collection consists of swimsuits, jackets, hoodies, t-shirts, dresses, crop tops, mini-skirts, and more. Neiman Marcus will host a customer activation featuring a 2,000-square-foot immersive activation at its NorthPark location in Dallas on April 26th to celebrate the collection launch.
