138. H&M x BALMAIN

1:31:00 AM

The big news of the day...
And great news to start the day with. During the Billboard Awards we had topmodels Kendall Jenner and Jourdan Dunn showing us the first pieces of the collaboration between H&M and the Parisian haute couture house Balmain. A collection that will be available the 5th of November 2015 in 250 worldwide and online.

Olivier Rousteing, creative director of Balmain, is very happy with the collab. He wants his designs to address his own generation. A very important goal as designer and a perfect opportunity together with H&M.
As H&M is a brand that everyone can identify with. It's unity.
Balmain, founded in 1945, radiates energy, fun and liberty in their designs. A mix from Haute Couture with a touch of Streetwear is a personal identity to Balmain by Rousteing.

H&M confirmed the collaboration this morning on social media and the news has taken over the world in a couple of hours. As we're seeing single shots passing by on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, I've collected them all in one post. What do you think of the first pieces? The jacket is very strong and a typical Balmain silhouette with the notable shoulders. I'm curious about what the other items will look like.
