With the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show just a matter of days away, the brand's couturiers are putting the finishing touches to their bespoke runway designs.

But unlike previous years, the 2017 showcase will not only consist of in-house designs.

Announcing their collaboration with popular Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing last month, the lingerie giant has now revealed a sneak peak at the collection which will land in store on December 6.

Falling in the 'Punk/Rock' segment of the show - each year the different catwalk sections have a theme - the designs feature heavy embellishment and studding.

Speaking with the Victoria's Secret team during the process, Rousteing said: "I need to make sure that this punk is glam, and to bring punk to a couture level. It can't look like punk on the street."

Revelling in the partnership, Rousteing admitted that he and Victoria's Secret "believe in the same kind of woman," dubbing the brand's models "powerful ladies... a strong and confident sexy girl that knows what she wants."

Sophia Neophitou-Apostolou, Creative Director of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, said: "The great thing about Olivier... he's like a super fan. He loves the women we project and he reinforces that in his own shows. That power, that sensuality."

"We went there with the idea of punk but he turned it into glam punk. It's much more finessed and beautiful, and each piece is a couture piece... embroidered and encrusted and bejewelled."

Keep an eye on standard/fashion on Monday, November 20 for live coverage of the show before and watch in full when it airs on 28th on CBS in America.

UK residents can stream the show using the app HayU from November 29.
