When H&M first announced Balmain as its latest collaboration, world wide hysteria understandably ensued. Sharp shoulders, exquisite embellishment — creative director Olivier Rousteing has created a sure sell-out collection, and we got our hands on it first. 

From the embellished blazer seen on Kendall Jenner to what will surely be the pink party dress of the season, here is your very first look at Balmain x H&M, modeled by our very own Accessories Editor Donna Wallace. 

Get your hands on the new ELLE October issue, out now, to read editor in chief Lorraine Candy's interview with Rousteing and see our edit of this incredible collaboration. 

Find out how you can be one the first people to shop this collection in the November Issue of ELLE. 

Balmain x H&M hits stores November 5th.
