High-fashion forays into wearable tech aren’t new of course, but this collaboration between Balmain and Beats by Dr. Dre might be the coolest one yet.<\/p>\n

Beats just unveiled two new custom designs by the French fashion house – Safari (gold metal detailing on tan leather) and Khaki (gold metal with army green leather) – available in the brand’s Studio Wireless over-ear headphones and Powerbeats3 Wireless earbuds. The earpieces come in suede cases embellished with a gold plated Balmain logo, too.<\/p>\n

“Seeing music and fashion as completely intertwined simply reflects how my generation grew up – we simply cannot conceive of one without a full helping of the other,” Balmain’s creative director Olivier Rousteing said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The French brand follows labels like Fendi and Alexander Wang, which have previously collaborated with Beats on their own headphone designs.<\/p>\n

Kylie Jenner, the youngest of the Balmain-obsessed Kardashian sisters, stars in the sleek ad campaign. “Beats are my favourite headphones, so this is something I’m passionate about and I’m excited to be a part of this campaign,” she said. “Music means so much to me. I can put on a song and just escape. I think a lot of people can relate to that feeling.”<\/p>\n

The Balmain x Beats Studio Wireless ($600) and Powerbeats3 Wireless ($250) are available now on apple.com, balmain.com, and Balmain’s NYC and LA stores.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
