In most cases, runway soundtracks simply accompany the show. But the talented musician and producer BFRND is dramatically changing this dynamic. His brilliant soundtracks for Balenciaga are an intrinsic part of its fashion shows, resulting in an unparalleled immersive experience. 

 

BFRND — I’m from the south of France, a small Catalan town near the Spanish border. 

OLIVIER ZAHM — Are you pro-Catalan autonomy?

OLIVIER ZAHM — Spain is a beautiful country for music….
