We love it!
The two are obviously good friends, and though they may not be attracted to each other in that way, they still manage to make this editorial steam with their heat!
They may even work together on costumes for J.Lo’s upcoming Vegas residency!
Jennifer said:
“I think of it like Bob Mackie with Cher, or even with Diana Ross. People like that who really created for a singer, a stage performer. You think of Cher at the Oscars — that thing she wore on her head and everyone went, “Who did this?” Again, it was so her and it was so custom made. It goes back to how luxurious it was: you wouldn’t see that everyday. That’s what I imagine the Vegas show to be. I would love to work with Olivier on the show, even if he couldn’t do the whole thing, to really create something timeless. We still talk about those things because they made such a mark, but Bob and Cher had a real relationship. It was those special relationships between designers that really created timeless fashion moments and timeless moments in pop culture.”
And we already know she adores wearing Olivier’s sexy, intricate designs:
“Wearing them just now, it feels very much like me. I know probably every girl thinks this, and that’s the genius of a designer: everybody who puts it on feels like, ‘Oh my god, this is made for me!’ It’s the velvet, it’s the sparkle; it’s so ready for the spotlight. I think every girl who wears any special thing, they want to feel like they’re a star. And that’s how you feel when you wear one of Olivier’s dresses. Like, ‘OK, where are we going? There must be something special going on!'”
Meanwhile, Olivier touches on the problem of lack of diversity in the fashion world:
“[Other designers don’t cast models of color] Because they’re not living in the real world. You asked me why we need celebrities in fashion, which I think was really smart. Celebrities come from music. I think the music system is way more open-minded and way more diverse. Fashion people sometimes forget that, except for the front row that you’re going to get at your show, there’s an entire world that loves fashion. So it’s important for me and for Balmain to show the diversity because it’s also about the luxury of communication. And you don’t communicate for just 10 people in the room during a show; you communicate to an entire world.”
We’re thankful that the 29-year-old is brave enough to go against the grain on this issue!
