‘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,’ comments olivier rousteing.

 

‘no matter what you’re going through, when you put on a song that you love, and that you just connect with, it can change your whole mood and just lift you up. even if it’s just for a few minutes… I love that escape music gives us,’ says kylie jenner, the face of the campaign.
