If you've ever been tempted to buy Rammstein merch but worried that it wasn't quite expensive enough, fret no more, because Metal Sucks reports that the long-running German metal band has finally partnered with Balenciaga on a new extremely overpriced merch collection. It's a tale as old as time -- even Radiohead licensed their brand to R13 a few years ago.
Georgian designer Demna Gvasalia, the Vetements cofounder who is currently the creative director of Balenciaga, is a huge Rammstein fan. He frequently wears Rammstein shirts and put a bunch of their songs on a Balenciaga playlist for Apple Music last year. And now, as part of an ongoing project featuring different artists, he's gotten Rammstein to curate a playlist of their own to coincide with the release of a Rammstein-themed capsule collection.
The collection is a limited-edition, unisex line of very ordinary looking black clothing and accessories featuring the band's logo and an outtake from a photoshoot. There's a $495 Rammstein baseball cap, a $650 Rammstein shirt, a $995 Rammstein hoodie, a $2250 Rammstein raincoat, an $850 Rammstein fanny pack, and so much more. Find the whole collection here.
