Stars gathered in force for the annual Billboard Awards this week, however all fashion eyes were on Balmain's Creative Director Olivier Rousteing whom had his best pals Jourdan Dunn and Kendall Jenner by his side. All dressed in Balmain x H&M, they officially revealed the first pieces from this highly anticipated collection.

Following in the foot steps of collaborations including Alexander Wang, Isabel Marant and Lanvin to name a few, the collection launching November 5th is the high street giants 11th collaboration! 

Kendall sporting a velvet and silk embellished blazer with tight high boots with sleek poker straight hair looked every inch the supermodel on the red carpet. Jourdan Dunn also wearing selected pieces from the collection chose a top with mesh ropes and gold detailing teamed with a silk satin draped mini skirt. 

"We are excited to have Balmain as our guest at H&M and create a truly involving experience for everybody. With its mix of couture spirit and street wear attitude, Balmain owns a unique style, at once opulent and direct, sensual and energetic. It is also closely linked to the show business and music worlds, which adds another element of surprise," K says Ann-Sofie Johansson, Creative Advisor at H&M

So now we wait patiently until Novemeber 5th! #HMBALMAINATION

This summer season it's all about "Runners" aka Trainers! Regardless of "trends" I wear trainers literally on a day to day basis!

Travel: Your Ultimate guide to Hong Kong

Madeline's

 Guide to 

Hong Kong!

Model, Fitness Fanatic and  Fiance of Jack Reynor, Madeline Mulqueen is one well travelled babe! Last year having travelled with her beau around the world for the Transformer's Premier, I couldn't wait to see which city Madeline would pick when asked to be part of our Fashionista's travel city guide series! Hong Kong it was! I haven't yet been to the far east but it's a place a hope to visit soon! Here's Madeline's ultimate guide to Hong Kong and I just cant wait to go after reading this.....

Best Place to Stay?

The first time I went to HK I stayed in The Four Seasons. It’s in central HK so you’re close by to everything and it’s also attached to the biggest mall I’ve ever been in! 

The second time I went I stayed in The ICC Hotel in Kowloon. I was sleeping in the clouds on the 100th floor of the the tallest skyscraper in HK. They have a light show on the building every night that you can see from across the harbour and from the Four Seasons if you’re staying on the right side! 

Best Restaurant? 

Azure in Lan Kwai Fong is an amazing restaurant for a night of fine dining.

Best Bakery?

I can’t remember a specific bakery in Hong Kong but all over the streets and especially in the subway, they have food stalls full of yummy Chinese cakes and goodies for you to enjoy.

Best Cocktail?

The Ozone Bar is an open roof bar on the top floor of the ICC building. It does the best and strongest cocktails ever! 

Best View?

Did I mention The ICC was the tallest building in Hong Kong? Enjoy your cocktails and the most insane view of Hong Kong from The Ozone Bar. 

Best Boutique?

Tikka is the coolest boutique I found for sure. Also check out A Boutique and Russell Street, directly across the road. 

Best Breakfast?

If you’re looking for a traditional Chinese breakfast and food you have to go to DimDimSum Speciality Store. It’s voted one the top 101 places to eat in the world! Try everything and definitely get the Piggy Custard Buns <3 

Best Attraction?

The Big Buddha, without a doubt.

Best time to visit?

Anytime!

Best for Vintage?

You will find so many cool vintage stores in the Soho area of Hong Kong 

Best Club?

Dragon - Is a really cool club 

or Tazmania Ballroom across from it, all in the Soho area. 

Best Burger?

The Butchers Club

Best rooftop?

Armani/Prive or The Ozone Bar 

Best Shopping District?

The Landmark in central HK is the best mall for shopping but the streets are filled with stalls and stores for you to explore. 

Best Hideout?
Take a boat to one of the surrounding islands, some of them are pedestrianised, they are so peaceful!
