HMBalmaination

To say we've been eagerly awaiting H&M's collaboration with Balmain would be an understatement! From the gigantic reveal to the first sight of the collaboration’s teasers and the envy-inducing debut ensembles sported by model members of the #BalmainArmy, the suspense has been excruciating! And now, the full collaboration lookbook is available in all of its tailored, velvety and heavily embroidered glory!

The satin, velvet, embroidery and powerful skintight looks are indispensably Balmain and you’ll find reimaginings of essential Balmain classics - from the pearl-embellished dresses to the oversize leather coats, all characteristically Balmain as the collections Oliver Rousteing shows on the runway at every season.

The looks seem perfect for a maximalist holiday party or if you are a minimalist, you could appreciate the tailoring and beautifully crafted blazers that can be worn with any outfit. Every piece in the collection, which includes intricate dresses, has sharp tailoring and attitude. A couple of standout silhouettes would be the fitted velvet blazer with powerful shoulder pads and the longer double-breasted blazer with its gold buttons imprinted with Balmain insignia.

H&M has truly started the inescapable drip-feed of teasers for its upcoming collaboration with Balmain, which hits stores and digital shelves on November 5. We are so excited!
