Chivas XV Joins the Balmain Army for an Exclusive Drop of Scotch Whisky
Two legendary houses, Chivas and Balmain, join forces to drop an exclusive, limited-edition Balmain x Chivas XV collection.
Bringing a Parisian savoir-faire to Chivas’ 15-year-old blended Scotch, Chivas XV is a contemporary twist to Scotch by selectively finishing its aged whisky in Cognac casks.
This collaboration takes the form of two limited-edition bottle designs, developed by Chivas in partnership with Balmain Creative Director, Olivier Rousteing.
Balmain x Chivas XV Collaboration
Olivier Rousteing explains: “Just like Balmain, Chivas has always adhered to the highest standards with neither house being afraid to push boundaries and break with outdated conventions. Those already familiar with the Balmain universe will note that this unique collaboration includes a signature motif of the house—the oversized golden chain. Whenever I’ve included that eye-catching adornment in my collections, it has served as a bold symbol of the defiant spirit of our rebellious and inclusive Balmain Army – a bold and audacious attitude that both Chivas and Balmain celebrate.”
Chivas XV Drop 1 and Drop 2
The collection features bold designs from Balmain and Chivas that embody the iconic codes and legendary success associated with each house. The First Drop, an extremely limited and individually numbered gold bottle, is adorned with metallic armour and chains in a nod to Balmain’s signature runway pieces, whilst the Second Drop brings to life Balmain’s recognisable silhouette, through the asymmetrical design of chains and belts directly inspired by the house’s recent collections.
Balmain x Chivas XV Launch
To celebrate the launch, Chivas and Balmain will be inviting fans to join the Balmain Army through a series of exclusive and vibrant activations. Shining a light on the collection’s motifs, Balmain x Chivas XV billboards will be unveiled in numerous cities alongside an iconic fashion film following the Balmain Army as they journey through a night of celebration. For those wanting to try the product firsthand, a series of Balmain x Chivas XV pop-up bars serving a range of exclusive cocktails will also be appearing worldwide and at select Fashion Weeks.
Preorder of Balmain x Chivas XV Drop 2 will retail exclusively at S$170.00. Express your interest via https://bit.ly/ChivasXVxBalmain.
