Break it down, Kendall Jenner!
Ahead of the Balmain x H&M launch festivities tomorrow (and the runway livestream), the collaboration has unearthed a behind-the-scenes video of the supermodel and Balmain mastermind Olivier Rousteing busting a move for the new campaign. The video captures some of the backstage fun at the new line's shoot, plus the Balmain bunch learning how to move from the dance pros on set.
"Kendall had a lot of fun. It was a new experience for her. We had the best time," Olivier told Yahoo Style of working with the 19-year-old. "For me she is the new Naomi, Claudia, Cindy. You know the type of models where people want to be her. Finally we go back to top models and are making dream girls…I love that she's global, and loves music, dancing, she's the Balmain girl."
As if watching KJ bust a move (and almost twerk) for the cameras weren't enough to satisfy your Balmain x H&M appetite, the French designer also weighed in on the aesthetics of the urban-edgy shoot, which takes place on a makeshift New York City metro car.
"The metro has a sci-fi feeling to bring forward this idea of techno couture. It's really modern and young," Rousteing tells shared of the mood behind both the shoot and the collection itself. "When I see this collection, I think you can party, you can go to a gala, you're going out and taking a sci-fi metro. It's like a dream. Everything comes from a dream and a ride. Pop culture and Michael Jackson was also on my mind."
Dreamlike? Indeed. Sci-fi? We get it. The futuristic-feeling line is covered in Oliver's high-fashion fingerprints, with plenty of Balmain's signature whipstitches, beading and more. We've already had ample sneak peeks of the collection since it was first announced last May, with Balmain recruits Kendall, Jourdan Dunn and Gigi Hadid all sporting a few of the collab's drool-worthy duds on the red carpet and in advertisements.
And with the entire look book released last week, our patience is nearly worn thin waiting for the collection to hit store—but thankfully, the wait is almost over now. Can it just be Nov. 5 already?
