It seems Demna Gvasalia is a RuPaul’s Drag Race Stan, and he’s got a brand new collab with drag legend RuPaul Charles to prove it.
As an official curator on Apple Music, Balenciaga has tapped the icon to curate an exclusive playlist, featuring his own music alongside bangers by the likes of Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey, Kylie Minogue, Rihanna and Britney Spears.

Last year, Gvasalia launched his first playlist titled Hello, My Name Is Demna, and has since selected his favourite artists to curate their own playlists.

Accompanying the playlist is a limited-edition Balenciaga x RuPaul capsule collection comprising unisex tees, hoodies and caps emblazoned with RuPaul’s signature across the words “Balenciaga Music Limited Edition Merch” in spray-stencil lettering, as well as a campaign starring RuPaul herself alongside New York nightlife fixture Susanne Bartsch and friends of Balenciaga.
