Olivier Rousteing sits down to discuss one of the most hotly anticipated offerings of the year, the Balmain H&M collection

In the video, Rousteing says that this year's platform is inspired by "pushing the concept of diversity and communicating with the world." The Balmain designer also speaks about his experience with the fast-fashion brand and waiting in the types of lines this collab will surely inspire. 

The concept makes sense for Rousteing, who has long been an advocate for diversity in the fashion industry. The pairing between Balmain and H&M also adds up, as the retailer has teamed up with huge brands and designers before, including Lanvin, Maison (Martin) Margiela, Alexander Wang, and Comme des Garçons.
