Post- subway ad campaign and the Instagram leaks (which only built up the hotly-anticipated collection), it's here -- the look-book of every single piece in the BALMAIN Paris x H&M coup, I mean. It looked just like real Balmain, specially amazing since the prices start at a mere $17.99. Us plebeians, rejoice!
Social Supers Gigi and Kendall ride the subway |
Olivier Rousteing, thankfully, didn't spare the chance to leave the men in the #BALMAINATION Army drooling.
With less than a month before the limited edition collection is dropped in stores around the world, including the Philippines, here’s the preview at the men's pieces you'll want to) put in your basket starting 5 November 2015 (and its prices in Philippine Peso).
The outerwear (clearly, Rousteing's forte) is the best part of the men's collection, as modeled by Hao Yun Xiang and Dudley O’Shaughnessy (of We Found Love).
I had to do a double take: it's not Rousteing, but Dudley O’Shaughnessy |

BALMAIN is known for its eyes on the details prize, expect army/navy-colored easy separates mixed with the shining stars that are military-inspired double-breasted coats and zipper-covered leather jackets either wildly embroidered or festooned with gold patches, trim or buttons, all gilded and gaudy and over-the-top — how very Balmain.
As with everybody, I will be after the Tee.
Tee shirt, roughly PHP 1,609.54. Striped sweater (tied around waist), PHP 2,714.00. On Dudley O.: Cotton jumpsuit, roughly PHP 5,934.00.

Note bene: as per H&M spokesperson, the tees which come in Blanc (White), Vert Olive (Olive Green) and Noir (Black) to be sold here will not be marked 'France', but printed with the country/region they are sold in. For Pilipinas, that means that our tees here will come printed with 'ASIA'. As in, Balmain Asia.
The actual buying up to you is best left to you. For now, start making your list. And checking it twice.
$1 = P 45.95
