The collection will drop November 5 at select H&M locations and H&M’s online store. The collection stays true to the Balmain name with embroidery and tailored fits. Sleek blazers, hoodies, leather jackets, and more make up the menswear pieces.
“This Balmain collection for H&M is everything I love about menswear. It is sharp, rich in detail and full of effortless attitude. It’s for all the men in the H&M Balmain Nation, no matter who they are or where they are from.” -Olivier Rousteing
In celebration of the opening of the new flagship store on Fifth Avenue, H&M is the fashion retail sponsor of the Whitney Museum of American Art’s “Jeff Koons: A Retrospective.” The museum-inspired store is the perfect showcase for the Swedish retailer’s first-ever artist collaboration with one of the most notable and influential artists of our time, Jeff Koons.
H&M at 589 Fifth Avenue boasts 57,000 square feet and an impressive facade of windows. An impressive five-floor atrium and a 26′ x 20′ LED screen demands attention and creates a regal feel upon entering the store. Timeless finishes including green and white marble tiles, an opulent wall of mirrors, distinct herringbone woodwork and a full concierge shopping service all create a truly unique experience.
“The partnership with H&M was really exciting for me and the chance to showcase one of my most popular works to a new generation of people was inspiring. H&M delivers great fashion season after season and it’s nice to see my work at their new store,” says Jeff Koons.
This will be the first location worldwide to offer the work of a celebrated contemporary artist of this caliber, making H&M the destination where fashion and art intersect. The Balloon Dog leather handbag will also be carried in select markets across the US including Los Angeles, Chicago, and Dallas, as well as online at hm.com beginning July 17th, 2014. A select number of pieces will also be sold at the Whitney during the Retrospective.
The new H&M 5th Avenue Flagship is located at 589 5th Avenue, New York, New York 10017. The store can be reached by phone at (855) 466-7467. Store hours will be Sunday through Thursday 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Friday through Saturday 9:00a.m. to 10:00p.m.
After launching his highly successful Bodywear line at H&M over a year ago, David Beckham is finally expanding with a new swimwear collection. David Beckham swimwear will be in selected H&M stores on May 2014.
The collection consists of three different styles: boardshorts, swimshorts and trunks. As with every piece in the David Beckham Bodywear range, the focus is on fit, performance, comfort and style.
The result is a swimwear collection which offers a fresh update on classic masculine style. The trunks and swimshorts come in single colours, while the longer boardshorts also come in colour blocks, and in a graphic check.
“The success of my Bodywear collection at H&M has been fantastic, so I’m thrilled to be introducing these great swimwear pieces ready for the summer. We’ve worked hard to create new classics for men, with great fit, comfort and also style”, says David Beckham
David will appear in a new campaign for the launch shot by Glen Luchford, with images of David wearing each of the swimwear styles. The collection will be available in all H&M stores that stock menswear and online from May 22.
