The Suber Report: Everything You Need to Know About BALMAIN x HM
H&M campaign image
Any quick scroll down your Instagram feed will produce at least one image of a beautiful woman clad in Balmain. The brand, creative directed by fashion wunderkind Olivier Rousteing, has consistently reigned over social media and red carpets alike. Seen on everyone from Kim to Taylor, Joan to Gigi, we’ve become #BALMAINIACS. High-fashion glamour at its best, Balmain is always a wifi connection away but slightly out of reach to the average consumer. Fear not fashion babes, Rousteing is teaming up with H&M to bring you an incredible collaboration.

How do I know? Well, Tuesday evening numerous photos of the collection hit the internet. Chicago-based content creator Kathryn Swartz Rees posted 99 still life images of the pieces set to hit H&M stores this Fall. The images were not set to release until October 19th but I don’t think any of us are complaining.

While the leak may be a spoiler at least we now have an idea of what to elbow through the crowd for, right? This preview also puts to bed any concerns for the quality of the collaboration. Rousteing designs with an intense level of detail that translates well to an accessible price point. His aesthetic is strong throughout and delivers on the expectation of ornate embellishments.
I, as many of you, will be waiting with bated breath for the collection’s launch – November 5th. See all 99 photos here and tell me what you think below!
