In Vogue UK April there is a page about it. It's ridiculously expensive compared to the CDG for H&M collection. Everything is £100 - £150

do we have pics of the womens collection?

[loverunway]

I'll scan if you like? I really don't like Matthew Williamson though :/ All of his designs are way too colourful for me.

That's too much. I remember when Viktor & Rolf made their collection for H&M. I bought a t-shirt for 20€, skinny jeans for 50€ (or a bit more) and a pullover for 40€.

Yes and V+R and CDG are much more established and expensive and imo better designers than him yet he is charging about 3x more!


I will scan tomorrow

the leather jacket is the only nice thing.
the printed short sleeve button up is disgusting D=

[RedAzalie]

what ? it's even higher priced than CdG ? are they're totally crazy ? CdG was already over priced but thiss....

Barfulous collection.
I would feel very ugly wearing these pieces.

[loverunway]

Yes definitely! I thought CDG was expensive at the time but this is extortionate in comparison. You could still buy some drop crotch shorts at CDG for £30 which is pretty amazing tbh.

The Dutch Elle magazine (april 2009) has an article about Matthew Williamson and the H&M collection. There are pics of four outfits:

- a cobalt blue suit (blazer with cigarette pants) and a bright pink top
- a maxi dress with ruffles in a tribal print (purple/green/brown-ish) and a brownish leather jacket with neon yellow accents
- a cobalt blue mini dress with a pink/green peacock feather print on top
- another mini dress with wide sleeves (kimono style) in white, green, blue and yellow, worn with a wide studded belt (a bit like the one Carrie wears in SATC the movie).

Unfortunately I don't have a scanner.......

The article says the first part of the collection will be in stores in april (spring collection), the second part in may (summer collection). The prints he has used are peacocks, butterflies and flowers. The materials are more luxurious than the regular H&M clothes and the prices are also higher.

^Thanks for the description. I'm quite shocked at just how high the prices are but sadly I'm not surprised

Found these four pics today at stylefinder.com, the prices really are up there..
It really doesn't blow me away, not that I really had expected it to either.. I think the second dress is okey though, and the blazer has a lovely color, (I'm really in a colorful moment right now).
