Chlöe x Halle Promote Their New Victoria’s Secret PINK Collaboration In New Interview

Chlöe x Halle sat down with ELLE to chat about their upcoming Victoria’s Secret PINK collaboration. Debuting on August 29, the ladies are releasing their upcoming “chill” collection just in time for back to school. Highlights from their interview are below.

Halle on what appeared on their design board for the collaborations: “The key words were definitely comfortable, sexy, and flattering. We really wanted something to wear every single day. My sister is dancing all the time, so we were keeping that in mind. We made a really nice yoga outfit, with the leggings and the shirt to give us areas to breathe and give our bodies some comfort. Movement-wise, we can do what we need to do. We thought a lot about what we would wear in our everyday lives.”

Chlöe on teaming with BEAM on the collaboration: “Mental health really means a lot to us, and a lot of times, especially within the Black community, they never take our pain seriously. We’ve learned throughout history that we have gone through a lot. Young Black boys are taught that it’s not manly to show emotions or break down or have a bad day. And women as well—we’re seen as angry if we are in touch with our emotions. Especially in a time where therapy and getting actual help is very expensive, a lot of times the people who need it the most or who don’t come from a lot of money can’t get it. So where do they run to? I’m really happy that we partnered with them; it’s something that means a lot to us.”
