5 November 2015 will see 250
stores around the world, including South Africa’s very own H&M, launch one
of the most highly anticipated department store X couture house collaborations
the fashion industry has yet to experience: Balmain x H&M.
May 2015 saw the partnership
being confirmed and set for availability in-store November this year. The
Parisian luxury house – known for its high-end fashion fused with edge, fun and
showbiz flair – will soon become available to the everyday consumer; not just
the celebrity or that elusive wealthy patron.
“I want to talk to my
generation: this is my main aim as a designer. H&M allows me the unique
possibility of bringing everyone into the world of Balmain, getting a piece of
the dream and creating a global #HMBalmaination: a movement of togetherness,
fuelled on a hashtag. The collaboration felt extremely natural to me: H&M
is a brand that everybody connects to. It calls for unity, and I am all for
it”, said Olivier Rousteing.
The announcement might have
come with visuals pertaining to the women’s wear that will be launched, but
guys, don’t fear. There will be men’s pieces and accessories in the collection,
available for you to splurge your hearts out on.
So look out for more news as it
drops and for details for where and when that first for South Africa H&M
store opens! We have our money on the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, but then
again, anything is possible.
