one thing that annoys me for sure though, is the amount of people that all of a sudden will call themselves long-time followers of Rei's work (when they never really cared or were just repulsed by her work).. it's probably silly of me to get annoyed by that but I just can't stand it.. they lined up for cavalli, will line up for rei and would even line up for ms pulitzer if she'd get an invitation too.. hype just gives me migraine..

this reminds me of the scene that accompanied stella mcartney's (who i abhor and despise) collab with target australia. the frantic scenes outside to get their hands on the clothes! and the people dind't try anything on, they just stuffed their baskets. AND they had no hope of fitting into them either. just because they see pics of celebs in some mind-numblingly dumb magazine wearing stella, they jump on it. stupid cows.

Comme des Garcons for H&M

08 May 2008

H&M have announced their next collaborator, the Japanese fashion brand Comme des Garcons.
The famous avant-garde Japanese label, designed by Rei Kawakubo, have been chosen to create this autumn’s designer collection for H&M.

Creative advisor for H&M, Margareta van den Bosch said ‘Rei Kawakubo has been at the top of our wish list for a long time and we are thrilled that she has chosen to collaborate with us.’

Commes des Garcons has been a big influence on many trends and their designs have filtered down to the high street. Draped clothes, monochromatic and asymmetrical prints are among the brand’s popular designs.

The new H&M collection will bring experimental clothing to the high street for a fraction of the brand’s normal price. It will be launched at the chain’s second Tokyo store in November, followed by flagship stores a few days later. We can’t wait!

"Kawakubo disclosed that she's designed a red, pie-shaped shop concept that will house her Comme des Garçons for H&M collection in its entirety in 20 select locations, with smaller versions in a great number of doors come early November. She's also tapped photographer Peter Lindbergh for the campaign that will feature Missy Rayder, among others."

that link takes me to the press release about cdg, with 'latest images' at the side just showing h&m's a/w collection campaign images. i can't see any pictures of the cdg collection? i wouldn't have thought they'd be released for a couple of months...?

[katsu]

oh, shoot, you're right.

the notcouture blog posted those images this morning and said that they were from the cdg & h&m collection.

i'm actually really relieved that those aren't the pictures then! i was disappointed and confused when i saw those pictures.

sorry.

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

im actually excited about this i really want to see images just to plan whether i should actually go mad over this

although through experience after the first two days here of selling the collection if theres anything left they pack it up and ship it to london, or atleast that happened with the V+R stuff here.
