Tips For Shopping the H&M x Balmain Collection in Australia

by Amanda Bardas

As you might expect, excitement is mounting for the launch of the Balmain x H&M collaboration that hits stores tomorrow. For fashion lovers, it will be a history-making event—and the Who What Wear Australia team will be on the ground to Snapchat all the best launch moments (be sure to follow us at WhoWhatWearAu so you don’t miss out).

Based on past designer collaborations, we’re predicting tomorrow will be mayhem. To help you land the pieces on your wish list, we’ve got all the details you need to know before the big day. Keep scrolling to read our shopping tips, see some of our favourite ladies wearing the collection, and preview all the pieces.

Where and when

The collection will be available at Melbourne’s GPO, Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, Glasshouse Pitt St Mall and Lakeside Joondalup and doors will open at 8 a.m.

There’ll be a queue

Customers will be given a coloured bracelet and you’ll be allocated a time to shop in the designer collection area. You’ll have 10 minutes in the section, so make sure you know what you’re looking for.

There’s a limit

Everyone has a chance of grabbing the pieces they’re after, but purchases are limited to a maximum of five items per person and one size in each style. We think this is a pretty great rule.
