Care to join the army?

As November continues to draw closer, more and more people are scampering to find images from the Balmain x H&M collaboration. Particularly, people who are keen on joining the "army."

Yup, for Olivier Rousteing, the women who wear his clothes are part of the "Balmain army." Or better yet, the #balmainarmy.

I've seen some of the items from the collection, and they're very much like his main line. I think he found inspiration in the Lanvin x H&M collaboration where Alber Elbaz took some of his best pieces and made them a bit more mass market.

I've seen this dress worn by Gigi Hadid, and it looks so ornate and elaborate.


Based on what I've seen on-line, his collection is very opulent. That's where the problem lies. Pretty much like the Alexander Wang x H&M collaboration, this has the potential to be too niche. The clothes are too party for my liking. And I think my sisters will, too.

I guess we won't be enlisting then.
