J Balvin wants to convey the importance of "Amor y Pas" (Love and Peace), and he is not limiting himself to music. The Say My Name singer has joined forces with Guess Originals to create a playful apparel collection that aligns with his values. The limited edition capsule, Inspired by "happiness and positivity," was recently unveiled by the Colombian singer.
The exclusive Guess Originals x J Balvin Amor collection is currently available for purchase via Guess’ e-commerce website. With prices ranging from $39 to $149, the collab offers an exquisite assortment for balmy summers.
Explaining the idea and process behind his latest Amor collection, J Balvin said,
“It’s a hard task because it’s not just with clothing that you can do that, but at least you’re giving some tools and some vibes to make people feel better and comfortable knowing that they’re creating a message about love, peace.."
J Balvin’s designs for his collaboration with Guess draws inspiration from The Boy from Medellin
The Boy from Medellin, a documentary revolving around J Balvin, acted as a major source of creative inspiration for the new spring collection. The docudrama aired in May last year, and can streamed currently on Amazon Prime Video.
