MARNI for H&M: BEST PIECES

the most iconic pieces from the Marni capsule collection created for H&M. 

date of release: 08.03.2012

can't wait for it. 

TOM FORD FOR H&M?

TOM FORD may be the next designer to create a line for the biggest fast-fashion chain H&M.

Just a rumour up to now. However Margareta van den Bosch, creative director for the Swedish high street chain, commented that Ford is "a very interesting name," when asked about the possibility of a collaboration.

If rumours are to be believed, this would be the 9th collaboration with big designers for H&M, after the last one with Donatella Versace (that goes on sale tomorrow).
Who knows, are they waiting for the Versace collection to be in stores before revealing the partnership?

VERSACE FOR H&M

  

It's been a while from the official statement about a collaboration between Versace, one of the most iconic Italian brends, and H&M, the Swedish retail-clothing company. It is in fact dated to June the 21st the release of the video on youtube where Donatella Versace (Creative Director of Versace) together with Margareta Van Den Bosch (Creative Advisor of H&M) present the main ideas of the entire collection. 

There've been many rumors around it (as always I must say, in the fashion system), however there is something sure: 

the collection will be available in selected H&M stores on the 21st of November 2011. 

Forty pieces for women, only twenty pieces for men (unfortunatly) +++ accessories.

The first impression I got is that either it will be a flop (and this is quite improbable with two such big names) or a BIG HIT!
As Donatella herself sais, she's gonna use 'iconic Versace pieces of iconic Versace women', in other words a collection very in step with those of Gianni Versace of the 80s and 90s, the ones every woman was in love with.

This seemed to be all about the past. However, Donatella has managed to give the collection both a wave of interpretation and innovation, not taking the past for granted but instead giving it a new shape and skill; and what came out of the combination of Donatella and H&M is a great use of colours, leather, studs, spikes and colorful prints, prints and prints again.


Time is almost up, let's wait for it.
