H&M

All hail H&M! A firm favourite of stylish bargain-hunters, it’s also brought us a decade of affordable designer attire via its celebrated collaborations.

Back in 2004, Karl Lagerfeld got the ball rolling – and since then the likes of Versace, Roberto Cavalli, and Matthew Williamson have all paired-up with the high-street outlet. Last year, Alexander Wang’s sporty offering arrived in stores, predictably sending shoppers into a frenzy.

And H&M this morning was able to confirm that its autumn designer collaboration will be with the Parisian house of Balmain. Hurrah!

We even already have an idea of what the collection will entail – via Kendall Jenner and Jourdan Dunn, who appeared at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas last night donning sneak-peak pieces.

The models were there alongside Balmain’s creative director Olivier Rousteing, the 28-year-old who has since his arrival in 2011 nurtured the fashion house into a global pop-culture phenomenon.

Kendall wore a statement black blazer with white beading detail – very much Olivier’s signature style. Meanwhile, Jourdan opted for a military-feel navy top, similar versions of which have been spotted on the likes of Kim Kardashian. She completed the outfit with a red ruffle skirt and chunky metallic waist belt. Both had on a pair of thigh-high suede boots too.

Celebrity fans of the high-end label include Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Miley Cyrus, and Kim Kardashian.

“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,” the designer said today in response to the announcement.

“The collaboration felt extremely natural to me as H&M is a brand that everybody connects to. It calls for unity, and I am all for it,” he added.

“We are excited to have Balmain as our guest designer at H&M,” the clothing company also said in a statement. “With its mix of couture spirit and streetwear attitude, Balmain owns a unique style; opulent and direct, sensual and energetic.”

Balmain is known for its sky-high prices: simple blazers come in at around €1,500, sandals are similarly priced, while a leather embellished mini dress from this season is a cool €8,500.

Although price-points for the forthcoming collaboration have yet to be released, last Novemeber the Alexander Wang collection ranged from €15 for over-the-knee socks, and €30 for a tank top, to €200 for footwear, and €350 for a metallic down jacket.

Available from November 5, in around 250 stores worldwide and online at hm.com, the Balmain collection will feature clothing and accessories for both ladies and men.

Fashionistas, have your credit cards at the ready.

Earlier on in the year it was announced that high street hero H&M was all set to team up with the very brilliant Alexander Wang on a new collection – and it has finally landed.

Known for his super-cool and chic minimalist collections, we could once only dream of claiming one of Wang’s pieces for our own wardrobe, but that is all set to change after the launch of his new line of purse-friendly pieces.

We’ve had a little look at what the exciting new collaboration has to offer, and we can now safely say that we want it all.

The lookbook for the collection is a fashion lover’s dream, with everything from cool sporty crops and ski jackets right through to chic leather joggers, and quirky beanies emblazoned with the designer’s signature.

The collection, which also features menswear, really has that whole effortlessly cool Alexander Wang vibe, and we are in love.

The line is being officially unveiled today with a special fashion show, which is being streamed online through H&M’s website.

Amazing!

We think H&M made an excellent choice when they picked Pretty Little Liars actress Ashley Benson as the face of their summer campaign.

Apparently it was the actress’s own laid back style that inspired the campaign. We love her attitude to fashion – she gave this piece of advice last year: “As far as style, I say do whatever you want! Always wear what you feel comfortable in, don’t try and copy whoever you see on TV. Be original, be fun, be comfortable.”

Amen to that! H&M’s summer collection is right up our street with plenty of graphic tees, jeans and skirts. Time to go shopping!

David Beckham has joined forces with H&M once again (to our delight) to reveal his new bodywear range. In true Beckham style he forgoes his shirt to showcase his impeccably toned body and of course the impressive new range of underwear.

Clothing store H&M are facing massive criticism over a tank top design that features the Star of David with a skull emblazoned over it.

Many people such as The Times of Israel blasted the design for it’s “anti-Semitic” message.

The tank top has now been removed from H&M shops.

H&M also landed in hot water last year following complaints about a Native American-inspired hair accessory.

The ad is to be aired during the SuperBowl in February and fans of the handsome man will get a chance to vote whether he is #uncovered or #covered for the ending.

We know which one we’d vote for…
