Note to self: find genie, make a wish to get hands on Alexander Wang’s entire Balenciaga SS15 collection, because man, is it good.

The ravey mesh, streamlined scuba shapes and imposing space-spy trench coats, thrown brilliantly off-course by frothy ruffle details and a colour palette that looks like a plate of macarons and an espresso, is nigh on perfect. It’s like Leeloo from The Fifth Element had a run-in with a box of violet creams.

But good news, in the absence of a genie, getting your hands on a bit of Wang magic without coughing up top-dollar is about to be possible…

You might have thought you had fatique about those designer-high street collaborations. But then came the announcement that New Yorker Alexander Wang was teaming up with H&M - and suddenlythe man who made you want bullet-studded bags and everything in Balenciaga but could never afford was in reach.

And as the new print ads for the fashion love-in are revealed today, starring Joan Smalls, Raquel Zimmerman, Isabeli Fontana and Natasha Poly, it seems we were right to get excited. NEWSFLASH: we want it all. You're going to want it all. 'We wanted to take certain elements of each sport and portray the ultimate warrior', Wang told WWD, and each model looks as badass as you'd hope in the unsurprisingly sporty garb.

You're still going to have to wait a few weeks to get your hands on it when it hits stores on 6th November, but until then let's mull over what these ads will definitely make you want...

 

A massive clip-buckle belt: So utilitarian! So sleek! Who needs old-school metal after all?

The drop-shoulder hooded jacket: Has a waterproof ever looked so appealing? Short answer: NO.

Lace-up leggings: The 'rat leggings' of our day, without Russell Brand to ruin them. Picture those with a cashmere sweater. Lovely.

The oversized hockey-top: Hangover-wear has never been so high fashion.

The racer-dress: We are all over sporty detail on dresses right now, so you couldn't get a fresher way to fulfil your LBD craving.
