Fashion devotees are rejoicing! H&M have collaborated with Balmain Paris to launch a limited edition designed for the High Street brand by It-designer Olivier Rousteing.
The look book aesthetic features military inspired detailing, strong metallic colouring and the precision tailoring the sartorial set have come to expect from Rousteing.
It’s not the first time H&M has commissioned pieces by Runway designers, notable collections include Alexander Wang X HM and Isabel Marant X HM.
Doubly exciting for Sydneysiders, a shiny new H&M Flagship store will open in Pitt Street on 31st October. Shoppers will be able to preview their wares during HM Boardwalk Sessions this week at Circular Quay. The pop-up event will be open 24th October, 5pm-9pm and 25th October, 10am-4pm.
Previous designer collaborations have sold out quickly, and these bespoke ensembles are likely to follow suit.
