At just 29, Olivier Rousteing has taken the fashion industry by storm, thanks to social media, a massive celeb following, and of course his talent & passion to unify the industry. I must say, he's doing a superb job. His hashtag, #BALMAINNATION has taken over social media like embellishments on a Balmain blazer.
On Tues night, his highly anticipated Balmain X H&M collection was revealed at a star studded launch party on Wall Street. The event included garments with embellishments galore, dances, music from The Backstreet Boys (I'll get to that awesome moment in a sec) & much more.
Balmain "It" girls, Kendall Jenner, Jourdan Dunn, Gigi Hadid, & Karlie Kloss strutted their Baroque inspired pieces down the runway, while onlookers such as, Alexa Chung & of course, Kendall's lil sis Kylie observed. Each piece showcased the designer's attention to detail, with his placement of each stud, pearl, gold trim, & sequin.

THE AFTER PARTY
Once the last model made her exit, attendees were soon given an epic performance from one of Olivier's faves, The Backstreet Boys! Nick, Brian, Howie, Kevin, & AJ, arrived in true Backstreet style, down a flight of steps, while decked out in Balmain X H&M. They performed three of their many hits, while models, fashion bloggers, designers, etc completely lost it.
FYI: This was not a BSB "reunion'' they've been together 20+ yrs, never broke up, plus they JUST ended a world tour. That's pretty amaze.
