I may not stand in line in front of a store for a lot of things, but this…this is something different.  The Balmain collabo with H&M is a big deal.  And if you don’t know why this is a big deal, just Google Balmain.  Reminiscent of the Fall 2012 collection, this partnership will allow those of us who are not a Kardashian revel in fashion that will definitely stand the test of time.  Even though this is part of a diffusion line, these H&M pieces will be collectible.  And in 10 or more years, when your cleaning out your closets, think of me….I’d gladly take these pieces off your hands.

This collection hits online and stores, Nov. 5th.  Click HERE to view entire look book.

Most of us know the uber luxe fashion label Christian Dior.  But not many of us know the history behind the brand.  Here are a few bullet points on the basics of the House of Dior.

– Couture fashion label founded by Christian Dior in 1946
– Christian Dior is the inventor of the “New Look” silhouette which debuted in 1947

For more in-depth history on Christian Dior, please watch this great video as well as check the info found on The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s website and Wikipedia.
